No, that’s not how it always works.
Usually they let the first one go, but a second claim in a year is not good. If the damage is under $2k I’d just pay it.
I had 3 small claims within 14 months-2 of which were my fault, me was a hit and run. (I’m not a crazy driver, I swear. Those are the only two at faults I’ve had in 25 years of driving!). After the 3rd incident (which was my 2nd at fault thing), my insurance went up by $40 for one 6 month policy window. The next renewal, it went back down to what it had been before. I’ll take that trade off since I saved thousands of dollars in repair costs in return for an extra $40.
