Yes, Farmers has glass coverage for customers with comprehensive insurance. Farmers customers can file a glass claim under their comprehensive coverage if their windshield was damaged due to something besides an accident, such as an animal, a weather event, or vandalism. If the windshield was damaged in a crash, drivers can file a claim with their collision insurance if they were at fault or with the at-fault driver's liability coverage.

Fixing a cracked or chipped windshield is important for safety reasons, since damaged windshields can obstruct a driver's vision and are more likely to shatter if they are hit. If the damage is minor, you might be able to have your windshield repaired rather than replaced. Repairs are usually inexpensive, costing around $50-$150 for most cars, and they often take around 30 minutes. If the cost of repairs is less than your deductible, your insurance company won't pay for any of it.

In addition to Farmers's own rules on windshield repairs, several states have specific laws about car insurance deductibles for windshield repairs and replacement.

State Laws on Windshield Repairs

• Florida, Kentucky, and South Carolina require companies to waive the deductible for both windshield repair and replacement.

• Kentucky and South Carolina require companies to waive the deductible for all auto glass that you can see out of, not just the windshield.

• Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New York require insurers to offer customers the option of a $0 glass deductible plan. This option is often referred to as full glass coverage.

If you don't live in one of these states, you will likely have to pay your comprehensive deductible in order for your windshield to be repaired or replaced. You can check with Farmers if you're unclear about your policy details or your state's laws.

Yes, Farmers Insurance bought MetLife's home and auto insurance business. The purchase was agreed to in December 2020 and finalized in April 2021, but current MetLife customers will see no changes to their policies and will only receive new paperwork with Farmers branding.

This acquisition included all aspects of the MetLife home and auto business, and Farmers assumed 2.4 million existing MetLife insurance policies. If you already have a MetLife policy, know that the people who handled the servicing and underwriting of MetLife's policies will continue to do so under Farmers. If you do not yet have a policy, you will need to purchase a policy through Farmers, as no new home or auto policies will be written by MetLife.  

Customers who have life or health insurance through MetLife will not see any changes to their policy or paperwork since only the home and auto insurance business was sold. Anyone looking to purchase life or health insurance from MetLife is still able to do so.

Amica insurance rates go up by an average of 74% after an accident. Even though an accident will cause Amica to raise your car insurance premium when you renew your policy, the added cost will only be temporary. An accident will usually affect your Amica premium for just 3-5 years.

The exact amount that Amica premiums go up after an accident depends on a few factors, including who was at fault, how much damage was caused, the policyholder's driving and claims history. In general, at-fault accidents or severe accidents that lead to expensive insurance claims increase rates more than minor or not-at-fault wrecks. Additionally, premiums increase more for drivers who have had previous accidents or moving violations.
