Can Hail Damage a Car?
1 Answers
Generally, hail does not damage cars, but large hailstones may break the windshield. Hail damage is covered under the auto insurance's comprehensive coverage. If your vehicle is damaged by hail, you can call the insurance company's hotline to file a claim. Steps to claim insurance for hail damage: 1. Report to the insurance company. If all required documents are complete, you can report the incident within 24 hours. Provide details such as the vehicle's parking location, the person who parked it, and the weather conditions. 2. After reporting, undergo inspection and damage assessment. The insurance company will arrange for an inspector to contact you and conduct an on-site inspection. The inspector will take photos of the damage. 3. Required documents. During the inspection, you need to provide the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driver's license (both original and copy), and the owner's bank card. Ensure all documents are valid.
