Car insurance after motability insurance claim - no claims or not?

I'm due to give a motability car back in august after having it for a year so will need to get car and insurance.
before i got the motability car i had 10 years no claims (protected) but this didnt count with motability and im not sure how the insurance worked.
As my luck is bad its no surprise i had an accident last month a week before i was told i had to return the car and a claim has now been made.
My question is, when i get an insurance quote what now happens with the protected no claims i had? are they now wrecked because i had to claim on the motabiliity insurance?

Your NCD protection won't apply. (Worth seeing if the insurer you were with is keen to have you back and will offer you a deal)
If this fails explainin your circs to a local broker (not Swinton) and see if they can get you an introductory discount to reflect your driving history, (though the claim won't help!)0 -

When insurance legislation changed, quite some years ago, I needed a separate policy, having been on my husband's and a broker got me a special offer which was the equivalent of a few years no claims , as I had driven, claim free , on my husband's policy for years. (It won't be as easy with a claim ongoing , especially if you are to blame, though.)0 -
yes i was definitely to blame. went into the back of someone as i pulled out at roundabout. they had gone but stalled...

You only mad notability for 1 year?
The NCD you had prior to that should still be valid, as usually valid for 2 years BUT you will lose some due to the accident. If you had 5+ NCD it'll go down to 3, any less than 5 then you lose 2 years.0
