Wind Damage
In 2011, there were 76 wind related deaths in the United States, over double that of 33 in 2010. These winds can be produced by a number of different weather events including hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, dust storms, and tsunamis. These types of storms can cause extreme damages to homes, which is why it is imperative to include wind damage insurance on your homeowners insurance policy.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies will cover damages resulting from windstorms; however it is a good idea to check your policy limits and details. For those living in an area where high winds and storms are more prevalent, it could be wise to increase your limits to be completely covered in the case of an extreme event.
If your home has been damaged as a result of wind damage, and your insurance agency is not paying as much as they should, you may be eligible to receive compensation for damages to your home.

Wind Damage Insurance Coverage
Whenever there is a damage caused to our home or business, we wonder what effect it will have on our insurance. In most cases, the damages are covered by our homeowner’s policy without effecting our finances or everyday lives. Of course, insurance coverage’s may also depend on different situations and how the wind caused damages
If you have your automobile parked in your driveway and the wind blows a tree over on it, you may still be covered. This would mainly depend on if you have comprehensive insurance listed in your policy. Any non-crash related loss will be covered by a comprehensive insurance policy.
The most common form of wind damage caused to homes is roof damage. Typically this is covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. In order to be covered for this, individuals must have properly maintained their roof and be able to prove that the wind was the sole culprit to the damages. In addition, everything inside of your home that was damaged will also be covered.
Another commonly damaged item to one’s property is fences. Fences are typically covered when they are attached to the main structure of your home. It is common for fences to require additional charges in order to be covered by your insurance. These coverage’s will also depend on what the fence is composed of, for example; wood versus concrete or brick.
