I am in the process of renewing my car insurance in Alaska. Should I expect higher premiums because I got involved in an accident?

It is most definite that your car insurance premium will increase after an accident whether or not you are at fault. For one, that puts you in the high risk category. And because that entails an additional demand in your car insurance premium against your existing coverage (that is, if you were underinsured at the time of the accident), the cost becomes more expensive, as you will be required to have coverage for another probable vehicular accident in the future.
As a reference, I believe it is just advisable that you consider the following coverage for your car and yourself. One, personal injury protection. This will cover the insured motorist for medical expenses and other damages such as opportunity cost of wage loss due to the accident. Two, uninsured or underinsured motorist. This will cover you in case the other party lacks the car insurance coverage that you need. Three, property damage, collision, bodily injury liability. This will cover expenses you, the people in your vehicle, and the people in the other vehicle might incur on medical bills and property damages.
Scout around Alaska for the most economical car insurance policy that will cover you substantially, or search online, because we really never know what could happen. It is better safe than sorry. I think a slight increase in your premium would not hurt you much.
