Hail storm damadge

JACKO77

does anybody know if your car is covered for hail stone damadge.

Every car at work has been blasted by hail the size of tennis balls smashing windows and denting every panel.

will we be able to claim on insurance.

Yes, if you have comprehensive insurance, its covered under the accidental damage section but will count as a fault claim

Hail stones the size of tennis balls? In the UK? Today? REALLY?????

Wow!! I've got no idea about the car insurance side of things (although it looks like that has been covered) but I hope that nobody has been killed! That chunk of ice looks deadly.

I'm in Hinckley/Burbage too. Had to pull into the station in the car, opened the window as couldn't see the road and got hit in the face by a solid lump of ice, larger than a golf ball - as did my 3 year old daughter who was sat in the back absolutely terrified. I'd be very surprised if there weren't serious injuries.

Myself and many people down our street have lost roof tiles, fences are hole-punctured, cars are all dented and conservatory rooves have smashed. Never known anything like it.

Check your buildings policy - you should be covered for storm.

It should also tell you how to make a claim.
