Will my insurance cost increase much?

Hello everyone,
I had an accident in Aug last year, TP's fault but as it occured on a roundabout the best we're going to get is 75% in my favour so my solicitor is going to settle it soon. My question is regarding my car insurance and making a claim. I am 25 and have been driving for almost 5 years, am fully comp but didn't protect my no claims, and the other driver is also claiming. I am told that direct line take 2 years no claims off you if you have an accident and as she is claiming anyway I wonder if I may as well claim to get my car repaired as well? Surely my insurance is going to go up anyway? Does anyone have any similar experiences? If so, how much can I expect my insurance to go up by?
This is definitely a lesson learnt and will protect my no claims from now on!
