Property Damage from Hail

Hail damage can affect nearly every aspect of your property. Common types of damage caused by hail include:

• Roof damage: Missing shingles, granule loss, cracked tiles, and other roof damage are common after a severe hail storm. The need for a new roof might even be required.
• Siding damage: Dents, cracks, and holes in siding are frequently observed, often requiring significant repairs or complete replacement.
• Window damage: Hail can crack or shatter windows, leading to further damage if left unrepaired.
• Gutter damage: Dents and holes in gutters can compromise their functionality and cause water damage.

These common types of hail damage can lead to significant repair costs and even necessitate complete replacements, resulting in considerable financial strain for property owners.

Why Hail Damage Insurance Claims Are Denied

Insurance companies frequently deny claims, citing reasons that may not be valid. Common reasons for denial include:

• Insufficient evidence of hail damage: Insurance adjusters may undervalue or completely deny claims if adequate photographic evidence isn't provided. Immediate action to document the damage is necessary.
• Pre-existing damage: The insurer may claim the damage existed before the hail storm. Detailed records of your property's condition before the storm become essential.
• Policy exclusions: Policies may have exclusions that limit or eliminate coverage for certain types of damage. A careful review of the insurance policy before filing a claim is essential.
• Failure to meet deadlines: Insurance companies often have strict deadlines for filing claims. Missing these deadlines can result in a claim being denied.
