      <title>WIND DAMAGE ~ Am I Covered?</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We want you to know how your &lt;em&gt;Homeowners&lt;/em&gt; policy responds to the most common types of wind damage claims.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure rel="width: 346px; height: 231px;" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="/images/faq_blog/613/23083/large/FAQ-WindDamage-big_trees-Depositphotos_752337002_L-resized.jpg" data-image="23083" width="346" height="231" style="width: 346px; height: 231px;"&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the Pacific Northwest escapes the threat of hurricanes, the region is no stranger to strong, damaging winds. Each fall and winter season, several low pressure systems impact the Pacific Northwest, producing strong winds of 60+ mph. The powerful winds blow off roofs, damage vehicles and fences, up-root trees, and blow outdoor items and debris everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click on each question below for the answers to these common and important questions.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Think you know the answers?  You may be surprised! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=":the-wind-blew-off-part-of-my-roof-will-my-homeowners-policy-cover-it" target="_blank"&gt;The wind blew off part of my roof - will my Homeowner’s policy cover it?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=":the-wind-blew-down-my-fence-is-it-covered-by-my-homeowner-s-policy" target="_blank"&gt;The wind blew down my fence – is it covered by my Homeowner’s policy?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=":my-tree-blew-down-and-damaged-my-neighbor-s-car-am-i-liable-for-the-damage" target="_blank"&gt;My tree blew down and damaged my neighbor’s car – am I liable for the damage?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=":my-big-tree-blew-over-and-fell-in-my-yard-will-my-homeowner-s-policy-pay-to-have-it-removed" target="_blank"&gt;My big tree blew over and fell in my yard – will my homeowner’s policy pay to have it removed?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;figure rel="width: 347px; height: 231px;" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;&lt;img src="/images/faq_blog/613/23088/large/FAQ-WindDamage-roof_repair-Depositphotos_8693169_L_-resized.jpg" data-image="23088" width="347" height="231" style="width: 347px; height: 231px;"&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;REPORTING A CLAIM:&lt;/span&gt; If you are insured through American Insurance, please &lt;span class="redactor-unlink"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/contact" target="_blank"&gt;CONTACT US&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Often, wind damage will be minor and repairs may not exceed your Homeowners loss deductible. If repairs will be needed, we recommend you contact us so we can document&amp;nbsp;your loss. You will want to first seek a repair estimate from a qualified contractor and if justified a claim will then be made.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; "Windstorm" is a covered peril for losses under most property forms: HO-2 (Broad form), HO-3 (Special form), HO-4 (Renters form), HO-5 (Deluxe form), HO-6 (Condo-owners form) and similar property forms containing &lt;em&gt;Special&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Broad Form&lt;/em&gt; coverage.  However, the rarely used HO-1 or &lt;em&gt;Basic&lt;/em&gt; property form does not provide coverage for wind. In gulf states and areas subject to hurricanes, wind coverage may be restricted or obtained by endorsement for additional premium.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>
