State Farm has the best price for insurance after an at-fault accident — our sample driver got a quote for just $1,669 for a full coverage policy from that insurer.

Drivers who have been recently involved in a crash are statistically more likely to be involved in another in the future, so car insurance companies charge more after an accident.

Younger drivers often see the highest insurance rates of all. They're still learning the rules of the road and may not be as adept at evaluating risks as a more experienced driver.
