Is Hail Damage Covered By Insurance?
Many drivers ask whether hail damage is covered by insurance after a severe storm. In most cases, hail damage is covered under comprehensive auto insurance coverage.
After recent hail storms across Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, and surrounding areas, many vehicle owners are dealing with dents, dings, cracked paint, and body damage caused by hail.
What Type of Insurance Covers Hail Damage?
Comprehensive auto insurance typically covers hail damage repair. This type of coverage is designed to help with damage caused by weather, storms, falling objects, theft, and other non-collision events.
Liability-only coverage usually does not cover hail damage repairs.
Insurance coverage varies depending on your policy, deductible, and provider.
For official insurance information, visit the Texas Department of Insurance.

- Hood dents
- Trunk dents
- Body panel damage

Will Filing a Hail Claim Raise Insurance Rates?
In most cases, hail damage claims do not raise insurance rates because hail storms are considered weather-related events and not at-fault accidents. Hail damage falls under comprehensive insurance coverage, which is designed to protect against storm damage and other non-collision incidents.
Every insurance policy is different, but hail claims are generally treated differently than collision claims caused by driver accidents.
If you have questions about your coverage, deductible, or repair process, Hail Team One can help guide you through the inspection and claim process.
