The Iowa Insurance Division has tips for individuals to follow when filing an insurance claim for hail damage.
After a hailstorm and when it is safe, inspect your property. Look for signs of damage to your roof, siding, windows, and outdoor structures. Look for interior damage due to leaks. Hail can also dent vehicles and damage landscaping.
If the damage appears to be over your deductible, contact your insurance agent or company to file a claim. Take photos and videos of the affected areas, and provide the insurance company with a detailed description of the damage.
And be present while the insurance adjuster assesses the damage, and point out all affected areas.
