Why Accurate Weather Data Is Critical for Claims

Establishing Cause and Severity of Damage

Insurance claims hinge on proving the damage was caused by a covered peril. Get verifiable data on wind speeds and hail sizes at the exact property address to help:

  • Confirm whether a storm occurred on the reported date.
  • Differentiate storm damage from pre-existing wear and tear.
  • Link a specific hail size to the expected damage (e.g., hail larger than 1" often causes shingle damage).
nuvem

Ensuring Fair Settlements and Documentation

Verifiable weather data helps to support a fair and efficient claims process. It's the objective evidence needed to:

  • Reduce disputes by providing a neutral source of truth.
  • Support a fair settlement, preventing both overpayment and underpayment.
  • Provide thorough, verifiable documentation for the claim file.
Insurance ready with every report.

Understanding Wind & Hail Classifications

Our reports provide precise data on wind speed and hail size, including the relevant classifications. We also factor in the property’s elevation, which can influence localized wind patterns and weather events.

Wind Speed Classifications

We use the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to classify wind speeds, providing a clear reference for the storm’s intensity:

  • Tropical Storm: 39-73 mph
  • Category 1: 74-95 mph
  • Category 2: 96-110 mph
  • Category 3: 111-129 mph
  • Category 4: 130-156 mph
  • Category 5: 157+ mph

Hail Size Classifications

Our reports document hail size with both inches and common names, so you can easily communicate the severity of a hailstorm:

  • Pea: 0.25 inches
  • Marble: 0.50 inches
  • Penny: 0.75 inches
  • Quarter: 1.0 inches
  • Golf Ball: 1.75 inches
  • Baseball: 2.75 inches
  • Softball: 4.0 inches
