I recently had my $16000 car "totaled" by flood damage where I work. My employer did nothing. My Insurance paid it off. Now my car insurance has gone up $100 every 45 days. Even though it was not my fault, am I going to have to pay higher insurance with whichever company I choose to have my insurance through?

Unfortunately, your rates will most likely increase if your insurance company has to pay out on a claim for you. In general, insurance companies will increase your rates if they have to pay out on your claims. This is even if the claim it is not your fault. Not all insurance companies will charge for this claim. If you are going to check around for prices on insurance, disclose this claim. They will, or won't, charge you for this claim depending on their underwriting rules.
