You might think that most of the damage to your car is likely to come from a collision, but there are other ways that beautiful paint job could get scratched.
According to the Farmers Insurance Seasonal Smarts Digest, car claims related to the dangers of hail, rising water and flooding, sleeping at the wheel, glass damage, and tornadoes all present major hazards for drivers as spring’s warmer weather arrives.
Farmers Insurance analyzed customer claims data from 2013 through 2015 to uncover which states face an increased risk of major spring hazards. If you drive regularly in one of these states, you should contact your insurance agent or broker to be sure that you have the right coverage for your motor vehicle. If you use your vehicle in your business — or your employees have company cars — it’s important to confirm that these vehicles are insured correctly.
