You've heard the saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” but these showers also bring hail storms. And, these hail storms bring insurance companies huge quantities of damaged property needing estimates.
In fact, the current price tag for 2016 hail damage in North Texas alone is near $3.4 billion, and it's still early in the season.
This influx in damage causes insurance companies to become overwhelmed with claims. In the meantime, customers are emotional because there is likely more than one type of property damaged — multiple cars, roofs, siding and the like.

Aside from property damage, auto dealerships are often one of the most hard-hit businesses when it comes to hail.
