Windshield replacement

[jackdanielsnb@...]

Yes, I am also a property adjuster and know their insurance will pay for your
windshield.

Yes, if you talk with the truck driver or the company, they will say it isn't
their fault. Did you think they would willing pay you hundreds of dollars for
something they can BS their way out of? If you get the name of the insurance
company and file a claim with the insurance company, you will get paid.

Yes, you can also file on your company, and sometimes at no cost to you in a
rate increase. Some insurance companies have company policies that cancel you
after so many claims, no matter what the claim. Why take a chance if you can get
the other guy's insurance information.

Just some helpful tips for the "next" time.

sometimes rocks fall of the gravel hauler and sometimes it comes up from the
road, either way, here is what you do, if possible. Even if it isn't a gravel
truck, do the same.

and offer his insurance info. Most likely the answer will be NO. DOT regs says
he has to post certain info on the truck, they actually say it is located on the
door, but truckers put this everywhere on the truck. Look for TXDOT (or USDOT if
out of state) numbers and they will be on the truck. The name of the trucking
company and city should be posted. Get any or all tag numbers. On big trucks
(Semi Trailers) the truck (Tractor) tag is only on the front, but you should be
able to get the trailer tag number. Get ALL this info and also make note of the
date and time, and exactly where it happened, hwy#, mile post#, exit#, or the
mileage to the next city. The hard part is going to be "getting" the info off
the truck. If he is "hauling ass", you may not be able to get beside him. But
safely try to get this info.

and it will provide you the name, address, and their insurance company. The
insurance company info is what you want. You call them and file a claim and most
likely they will pay for your damage. If you have the date/time, where's, how's,
and truck info, they won't argue with you much, just pay.
