Claim vs dollar amount

Does it make a difference if i put in a small claim versus a large claim? Or is a claim the same as any other claim?

For instance, im trying to determine whether or not to go through my insurance for my concrete wall toppling over. If any claim is a mark against you whether or not its a small or big claim, then ill just put in a claim, but if the claim is going to cause my rate to skyrocket or get cancelled then i might just pay out of pocket.
