Unless you have collision coverage, your insurance won't pay for the damages. If you do, they will, less your deductible amount. No, if an accident is not your fault, it shouldn't increase your rates whether or not your insurance has to pay out.

File the claim.
Typically, no fault accidents do not count against you. If your company does raise your rates, switch to one that doesn't. There are plenty of companies that would gladly insure you without a penalty or surcharge.
