File For Theft Vandalism Weather And Animal Hits
Comprehensive claims are typically appropriate for theft, break ins, vandalism, hail, flood, fire, and hitting an animal, because these losses can be expensive and are not tied to your driving fault. Many policies require prompt notice and sometimes a police report for theft. Document the scene, keep receipts for emergency fixes, and prevent further damage when possible.
