How American Family handles glass claims

Glass damage is a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim, so American Family assigns no fault and the claim does not carry the rating consequences of an at-fault accident. Approval for glass is typically immediate and does not require an adjuster to inspect the vehicle.

We handle the entire process: verifying your coverage, confirming your deductible before anything is scheduled, filing the claim, documenting the installation including any ADAS recalibration, and billing American Family directly. Most customers never speak to their insurer at all.

Your American Family deductible

American Family comprehensive deductibles for glass commonly fall between $0 and $1000. In Florida, Arizona, South Carolina, and Kentucky, state law or policy structure removes the deductible entirely for windshield replacement.

Chip repair is a different matter: American Family, like nearly every carrier, generally waives the deductible on repairs completely. The arithmetic is simple — a resin repair costs them a fraction of a replacement, so they would much rather pay for it today.

You choose the shop, not American Family

American Family may recommend a network installer. In the great majority of states they cannot require one, and they are obligated to pay a reasonable market rate for work performed by the shop you select.

Because we bill American Family directly at standard rates, choosing us creates no additional paperwork or cost for you. Call (888) 897-5577 with your policy number and we will handle the rest.
