It is in the best interest of the public for motor vehicles to have safe windshields. The chance of a car accident is high when a windshield suddenly breaks. Therefore, requiring insurance companies to pay to repair broken and cracked windshields helps reduce car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents.
No one likes being stuck behind a truck full of gravel in an uncovered bed. The wind, coupled with the speed of the vehicle, blows some of the pebbles. A pellet-sized stone comes hurtling towards your car and hits your windshield, resulting in a crack in the glass.
In most cases, auto glass repair due to windshield cracks and breaks is covered by comprehensive insurance. Comprehensive car insurance will usually cover you when damage occurs to your vehicle in something other than a collision or accident that is your fault.
For the most part, insurance companies will cover the cost of windshield repairs so long as the damage is a small chip or crack. More severe cracks and breaks require the windshield to be replaced as a whole; something insurance companies try to avoid whenever possible.
Florida, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Kentucky have legislation that requires insurance companies to pay in full for windshield repair or replacements. Arizona, Connecticut, Minnesota, and New York clients can opt for lower or $0 deductibles separate from their standard ones for any claims involving their windshield.
As previously mentioned, your deductible and premium depending on where you live and your insurance policy. In some states, insurance companies are unable to apply a deductible. Arizona, Connecticut, Minnesota, and New York are some of those states. Glass repair and replacement claims may cause your premium rates to increase, but far, far less than it would for an accident claim. Most insurance companies waive your deductible if the windshield only needs to be fixed and not replaced.
Indeed, many factors play into whether your insurance would completely cover you in the event of a cracked windshield. For the most part, comprehensive insurance is your go-to in the event of a non-fault windshield break, and they happen from time to time.
All vehicles with tinted windows will be checked with an approved tint meter to measure the percentage of light transmission. In addition, all glass will be checked to ensure proper safe operation. Cracks in excess of 8" anywhere on the windshield will not be allowed.
If you are in a car accident and you damage the windshield in addition to other costs, fixing it would be under the Collision compensation if you have it in your contract. In most cases, fixing or removing your windshield would be covered by your comprehensive coverage. You will not have to pay the deductible if you use your comprehensive coverage to replace your windshield. However, depending on your jurisdiction, you might be required to pay a deductible if you need to repair your windshield entirely.
A deductible is an amount you must pay after filing a claim before the coverage kicks in to cover the remainder. Deductibles are applied per event rather than per policy duration, and Comprehensive and Collision coverages both have their deductible. In most cases, compulsory insurance covers window damage and repair, and property damage liability insurance covers it when others are at fault. In the vast majority of cases, damage to your windshield and car windows is protected if you have adequate insurance.
While most policies will cover your windshield, we suggest that you double-check to see the accidents are covered and that you have coverage for all of your windows. If it turns out that your policy only protects your side windows and not your windshield, it may be a difficult situation. Make sure to check your policy for cracked windshield insurance.
The procedure for filing a claim for broken glass is the same as for other forms of auto insurance claims. You may either contact an agent or file a claim online for most businesses. Auto insurance providers want to be informed as soon as possible after a claim is made. If your windshield has been vandalized, contact the police and request a copy of the police report.
