why do insurance premiums go up if you have the thing that you got insurance in the first place to protect against?

For example, if I get car insurance and get into an accident, why should that increase my premiums. I’m insuring against that risk, so the fact that I had an accident surely shouldn’t change by risk factors.

You’re premiums are based (in part), on the chances of you having an accident and/or filing a claim. When that “thing” happens, its new data that changes the probability, and therefore, changes your premium.
