QUESTION
Can a car insurance company pay the state over $9,000 in property damages when in the police report it says there was no damage in a one car collision

More details to this question:
I was in a car crash back in April of 2013. I spun out of control on I4 and my car was totaled after falling in a ditch. In the police report it doesn't mention any property damages. I was sent to the hospital but I was fine. After speaking to my insurance claims agent she informed me that due to my insurance policy they could only pay for my hospital bills. Not even for the days where I missed work due to the doctor recommending bed rest. I decided that I would pay the hospital bills myself since I didn't want to end up paying a higher premium. So as far as I knew my insurance didn't pay for anything. Yesterday, I bought a new vehicle and I called a different company to get insured and they told me that my premium had gone up due to the previous insurance paying over $9,000 to the state, due to property damages. Because of this my license was suspended and I had no idea this happened! Is this something I could fight in court? Or is this completely normal with car insurance?

You need to find out details. Your insurance compnay should explain to you or sent sent you letters,etc. You may need to hire a lawyer to help you sort it out before it gets out of hand.
