What does my State Farm Auto Glass Claim cover?

Customers who have Comprehensive Coverage in the state of Florida are not liable to pay for any expenses related to windshield repairs or replacements.

Florida Statute 627.7288 labeled “Comprehensive coverage; deductible not to apply to motor vehicle glass” under the title “Insurance Rates and Contracts,” states that the deductible provision “shall not be applicable to damage to the windshield of any motor vehicle.

The majority of insurance policyholders have a deductible in their Comprehensive Coverage that they must meet before their policy pays for benefits. If their deductible is $500 or $1,000, this is the amount they would have to pay first, before their insurance company would pay for vehicle damages. However, with the Florida Statute above in effect, policyholders do not have to cover their deductibles in order to fix their auto’s windshield. Please note that this “Deductible Waiver,” as it is called, does not apply to any other glass on your vehicle, such as door glass and back glass.

Insurance Auto Glass Claims for Windshield Only Damage:

If the only damaged part to your vehicle is your windshield, the Florida Statute described above ensures that, regardless of your Comprehensive Deductible, you do not have to pay any out-of-pocket amounts to get your windshield repaired or replaced. Any cost associated with performing repairs to your windshield will be fully absorbed by your insurance company.
