Hail Damage to Cars

Hail can come quickly and is often unpredictable, putting your vehicle at risk of being damaged by the hail if it is not parked in a covered space. While the extent of the damage often depends on how large the hail is and how long it lasted, even a few pieces of hail can do serious damage. Whether your vehicle has no more than a few barely visible dents or sustains heavy damage, your car may require automotive work. This type of repair is typically covered under insurance; however, if an insurance company denies your claim or does not fairly compensate you, you may be left with a hefty financial burden.

Unfortunately, many insurance companies deny legitimate claims from individuals for hail repair. If your vehicle was damaged by hail and your insurance company has unfairly refused to pay for the damage or has underpaid, a Dallas insurance attorney of Smith Kendall, PLLC, may be able to help. To speak with an attorney about getting the payment you may be due, contact us today at 214-361-6124.

Damage Inflicted by Hail

Hail can come in sizes as small as a pea, but can also reach the size of a golf ball. A piece of ice the size of a golf ball can cause incredible damage. Some of the types of damage hail inflicts on cars include:

• Large dents in the body of the vehicle
• Cracked or smashed front and back windshields
• Broken or cracked side windows
• Broken mirrors

When your car has suffered hail damage, you may be counting on your insurance company to help cover the costs of the repair. If they fail to do so in accordance to your insurance plan, you may be able to pursue legal action to get the full amount of money you need.
