Understanding Windshield Replacement and Insurance in Ohio
If you need your windshield repaired or replaced in Ohio, you may wonder if your car insurance company covers it. This depends on what kind of coverage you have on your policy.
You will need comprehensive coverage, and sometimes collision, to get help from your insurance company for a broken or cracked windshield.
Comprehensive insurance covers damages to your vehicle when you’re involved in an accident that wasn’t caused by a collision. Some examples include:
- Hail
- Vandalism
- Falling Debris
- Natural disaster
- Hitting an animal
- Theft
