Can Large Hail Cause Severe Damage to Vehicles?
1 Answers
Hail that is small in size, such as the size of a soybean, will not cause damage to the car. However, larger hailstones with significant weight can damage the vehicle. Below is relevant information: 1. Precautions: In the event of hail weather, try to drive the car to a sheltered area, preferably parking it in an underground parking lot. If the car is parked outdoors, you can cover it with a blanket to minimize damage. When there is no place to hide from hail, quickly move to the back seat of the car to avoid injury from shattered front windshield glass. 2. Insurance Claims: Hail damage is covered under the vehicle damage insurance provided by insurance companies. Any car owner who has purchased vehicle damage insurance can file a claim with the insurance company if their vehicle is damaged by hail.
