The Insurance Claim Process for Hail Damage: Step-by-Step Guide

Navigating the insurance claim process after a hailstorm can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with unexpected damage to your vehicle. But the good news is: you don’t have to go it alone — and Hail Team One is here to walk you through every step.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Inspect the Damage
After a hailstorm, carefully inspect your vehicle for visible dents, cracks, or broken glass. Even if the damage seems minor, it can impact your vehicle’s value or worsen over time.

Step 2: Contact Your Insurance Company
Let your insurance provider know you’ve experienced hail damage. They’ll open a claim and either schedule an adjuster or advise you to visit a shop for an estimate.

Step 3: Choose Your Repair Shop
Texas law allows you to choose where your vehicle is repaired. You are NOT required to go to the shop your insurer recommends. In fact, choosing a trusted, local shop like Hail Team One means you’ll benefit from over 30 years of experience — and we work with ALL insurance companies.

Step 4: Get a Free Estimate at Hail Team One
We’ll inspect your damage, document everything thoroughly, and create an estimate that’s submitted directly to your insurer. No guesswork, no upselling — just straight answers.

Step 5: Approve the Repairs
Once your claim is approved, we’ll schedule your repair and provide a FREE rental car if needed. We also waive your deductible, so you pay $0 out of pocket.

Step 6: Let Us Handle the Paperwork
From supplement approvals to communication with adjusters, we take care of the entire back-and-forth so you don’t have to. We make the process fast, clean, and stress-free.

Step 7: Pick Up Your Vehicle — Looking Like New
Your vehicle will be returned to you fully repaired, freshly detailed, and protected from future damage.
