That is not a loss qualifying for a surcharge.
Are you sure your increase was not attributed to a non related regular rate increase?
If it was due to an accident surcharge, I would contact your carrier and demand a reduction and credit.
If they don't comply, file a complaint with your local state insurance department.
Basically the deal was that when I signed up for the new insurance provider (after we got married), they searched records and saw that I had an incident on my report or some other mumbo jumbo within the past 3 years. The situation was that I got rear ended while at a complete standstill at a stoplight. My rates are most definitely increased because of it. It even says they are. Honestly it's not even worth fighting because the 6 months are paid for, and it won't be within 3 years at the next payment date, so it'll go back to normal. For the record this is with Progressive insurance since they were the cheapest for our situation, but all providers were going to increase it because of this 'accident'.
