If you’re driving around Milwaukee with a cracked or chipped windshield, there’s a good chance your car insurance will cover the repair or replacement — and you may not have to pay a single dollar out of pocket.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Does Wisconsin Insurance Cover Windshield Damage?

Yes — if you have comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance policy, windshield damage is typically covered.

Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from non-collision damage, which includes:

• Rock chips and cracks from road debris
• Hail damage
• Vandalism
• Falling objects

If you only carry liability insurance (the minimum required in Wisconsin), windshield damage is not covered. You’d need to pay out of pocket.

Wisconsin Law: Deductible Waiver for Windshield Repairs

Wisconsin law requires insurers to waive the deductible for windshield repairs. This means if your windshield damage qualifies for a repair, your insurance must cover it at zero cost to you.

For full windshield replacements, your standard comprehensive deductible applies — unless your insurer offers a zero-deductible glass endorsement.

Will Filing a Windshield Claim Raise My Premium?

Almost always no. Windshield claims under comprehensive coverage are considered not-at-fault claims and in most cases will not increase your premium.

Don’t Wait — A Small Crack Gets Worse Fast

Wisconsin weather is hard on windshields. Temperature swings cause existing cracks to spread quickly. The sooner you act, the better chance your insurer covers it as a repair (zero deductible) rather than a full replacement.
