Insurance companies at the time of an accident will apply a % of who’s at fault for the accident based upon many factors, including a police report. Sometimes the insurance companies will split the fault of the accident even when it shouldn’t be based upon how they pay the claim. As a policyholder you need to make sure that the insurance company marks the claim appropriately at the time of payout.

This is different for every bank or leasing company. It is best to confirm with the proper financial institution that is lending you the money for the vehicle.

Auto insurance scoring takes into account all of the information that is found in your credit score, plus your past auto insurance history. Some of the factors that are taken into account are tickets, accidents, and any insurance claims that you may have filed within a certain time period. These factors are obvious indicators of how risky or dangerous someone is when driving.
