Default CRACKED MY WINSHIELD

i was driving on the right lane and all of the sudden bam...i hit a tree branch or sumthin. i couldnt possibly see it becuz it is above right in the corner of my winshield and it was gettin dark. my cuzzin say call the cops and they should take care of it becuz they cant leave trees like that danging above the road. wat yall think i should do?

its only like 150-200 for a new one... there will be a hassle with the cops and plus it will go on your insurance and in the long run i think you will end up paying more..

but check into it before u make your decision

It depends on which state you live in if your insurance company can charge you more on via your policy for comprehensive, some states mandate laws that disallow the inflation of policy price for a claim that wasn't the insuree's fault. Call your insurance company & ask if they raise policy pricing due to a comprehensive claim, if they don't viola. Be aware most insurance companys require a $500 deductible though..

most windshield repair places ask "Is insurance paying for it", if you say yes they charge you a lot more than if you were going to pay for it alone.

If it hangs over the city roads, usually the city is responsible. At least that is the case here (Ontario, Canada). Who, prunes the trees? Who's property where they on? If it's the city property and you where driving on city streets, take it to city hall. The police have no ruling on trees, and growth....but the city does. (at least here they do...)

Good luck

Exactly, not being an *** bro but come on!! Be a man and get it fixed. What's next, are you gonna make a thread stating "ran out of gas what do I do?" next or what? Come on man use common sense.

depends on your deductible too...

no sense paying a $4oo insurance deductible if u can get the windshield done cheaper...

yea... as for the $200 it was on my friends car... something hit her on the freeway. we called up some dude my dad used to do business when he was in the automotive business and he came to her house and did it within 30 mins... flawless install... but thats in so cal.. i think i read u were in Louisianna so i dont think that guy can help u

If ur in SoCal then the average price should be around $100-150. No more than that. I just replaced my 91 Accord ($120) and a 99 Windstar ($130) including the rubber seal. I got mine done in Riverside; if ur local I'll tell u where to go.

Never mind ur in Luisiana. Good Luck!
