Glass damage is among the top subjects of insurance claims in the US, currently accounting for around one third of all claims. Many things can cause damage to windshields – small stones and other debris jumping from the road can cause cracks and chips in the glass, extreme weather, especially hail, can cause impact that not even the strongest laminated glass can withstand and accidents that shatter windshields happen all the time as well. Here are the top five states for commercial auto glass claims:
- New York – a state known for always being on the move as well as for heavy traffic, New York is also a state with a high number of glass claims. One of the reasons is the high number of commercial vehicles registered in the state, the other may be the fast-paced life that dominates the state;
- Texas – the varied geography and the wide roads might make driving a special experience in the state, but the higher the speed, the stronger the impact of even the tiniest rock flying from the road;
- California – another state known for heavy traffic and frequent accidents;
- Florida – capricious climate is known to increase the risk of auto glass damage and Florida surely has quickly changing weather that is also prone to extreme events that are highly dangerous for cars, such as hurricanes;
- Arizona – the Grand Canyon State’s arid climate and wide roads also seem to be a combination that increases the risk of auto glass damage.
