Hail damage is often more than just cosmetic. Those little pieces of ice are hard and come down with force! Homeowners insurance covers hail damage to the structure of your home, which most often occurs to your roof. This is great news because you never want your roof to have structural damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does a Hail Damage Claim Raise Home Insurance Rates?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1274\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Homeowners-Insurance-Hail-Damage-Claim-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Homeowners Insurance Hail Damage Claim \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Homeowners-Insurance-Hail-Damage-Claim-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Homeowners-Insurance-Hail-Damage-Claim-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Homeowners-Insurance-Hail-Damage-Claim.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your homeowner&#8217;s insurance company will cover the damage, is that the end of it? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuepenguin.com\/hail-damage-homeowners-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will your rates go up in the next year&#8217;s period?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The simple answer to that question is, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; Insurance companies can and often do raise your rates after filing any type of claim, including one for hail and wind damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s look at a longer answer, though. Damage to your home caused by hail would fall under what insurance companies refer to as an &#8220;act of god.&#8221; These are unexpected events that the policyholder cannot control or prevent. Don&#8217;t think of a rate increase as a punishment for filing a claim. If the frequency of hail storms where you live increases and your insurer decides that your region has become more susceptible to the phenomenon, it&#8217;s possible that homeowners insurance rates for the region as a whole will increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one wants to think about their insurance rates increasing, but remember- this is why you pay insurance premiums in the first place! After you assess the damages, it&#8217;s time to connect with your insurance company to file a claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making a Hail Damage Roof Insurance Claim<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have damage to your home from hail that you want insurance to cover, the next thing to do is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/insurance\/homeowners-insurance\/how-to-file-a-homeowners-insurance-claim\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">file a claim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with your insurance carrier.
