HURRICANE DAMAGE AND VEHICLE INSURANCE: Motorists in South Florida are surely aware of the damages a hurricane can cause to property & motor vehicles. Fallen trees, cut power lines, flooded streets & avenues can lead to cars or trucks needing repairs. Replacing a broken windshield from a fallen tree branch can range from $250-$2500, depending on the vehicle type and its insurance deductible amount. In Florida, basic insurance coverage such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is mandatory for all registered motor vehicle owners. Unfortunately, PIP will only cover bodily injury in an accident by paying for medical expenses and/or losses in the amount of $10,000. In order to protect your vehicle against natural disasters, motorists should carry Comprehensive insurance, which would cover the cost of a broken windshield from a hurricane. It is always highly recommended to have a cracked windshield replaced quickly to avoid possible fines or an accident that can lead to personal injury. There are many types of insurance policies available to Florida motor vehicle owners and it is important to know what each policy protects you in the event of accidents or damages from a hurricane.
