You may not immediately think of hail as a danger to your car or home, but large hailstones can shred roof coverings, dent house siding, scar automotive finishes and lead to water damage. In fact, research from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) indicates that more than 75 percent of U.S. cities will experience at least one hailstorm each year.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to potentially reduce losses and associated property ownership costs brought on by hailstorms.
