It’s important to look at hail damage in terms of car insurance because you want to have the necessary protection. The state of Colorado mandates that all drivers have liability insurance. This covers property damage and personal injuries, but nothing having to do with the damage that stems from hail. This would require comprehensive insurance – and it’s a coverage option that can easily be added to your policy.

Hail can range in size from the size of grains of rice to the size of golf balls and larger. As these fall from the sky and land on your vehicle, it can cause a significant amount of damage including:

– Dings in car body

– Cracked windshields

– Damage to clear coat

The damage to the clear coat can have the greatest impact because it may not be seen right away. However, it is this coat that seals in the paint and prevents it from chipping away. If the paint starts to chip, the body of the car can rust, causing problems to the overall construction as well as the aesthetics.
