Hail Season in Kansas: What to Do After a Storm
Kansas ranks among the top states for hail claims. Here is a simple, step-by-step plan for what to do the day after a storm hits your vehicle.

Don't wait to document
The single most important thing you can do after a hailstorm is document the damage while it is fresh. Walk around your vehicle in good light and take clear photos of every panel, the roof, the hood, and the trunk. These photos are what your insurance adjuster and your repair tech will rely on.
Check for more than dents
Hail can crack glass, damage trim, and chip paint. Note any broken windshield, mirror, or trim pieces alongside the dents so nothing gets missed on the estimate.
Open a claim early
Most comprehensive auto policies cover hail damage, and your deductible is usually far less than the repair cost. Open a claim promptly, some carriers set time limits.
Choose paintless dent repair when you can
If your paint is intact, PDR is almost always the better repair. It preserves your factory finish, finishes faster, and keeps your vehicle's value. Traditional body work involves filler and repainting, which lowers resale value.
