Hail Damage Leads Second Quarter Auto Claims

Nearly 70 percent of all hail-related auto claims for 2013 and 2014 were filed in April, May and June, according to Farmers Insurance. States in the Midwest and Southwest reported the highest amounts of damage. For Oklahoma, about 90 percent of the annual number of non-collision claims came in during the second quarter, “showing that hail and damage from tornadoes played a significant role in auto damage over those years,” according to Farmers Insurance. Out of all types of comprehensive auto claims, more than 40 percent of those filed to Farmers Insurance from April to June are hail-related.
