Getting you back where you belong

On Wednesday evening, May 25, 2011 a severe hail storm moved through our area.  It began with tornado warnings followed by high winds, heavy rain, and the largest hail stones that most of us have ever seen.  The storm covered much of Southwestern Ohio, but seemed particularly severe in the Dayton suburbs of Bellbrook, Centerville and Xenia.

Hundreds of Farmers policy holders have suffered damage to homes and automobiles from this devastating hail.  Many people collected buckets of hail that were between the size of golf balls and tennis balls!  It will take many weeks (and in some cases months) to fully recover from the damage caused by this storm.

The phones at the Greg Davis Agency started ringing off the hook the next day and haven’t stopped since!  Over 20% of the households represented by our agency have filed auto and homeowners claims.  Farmers had to bring in claims adjusters from other states including Pennsylvania, Tennesee and New Jersey to deal with the volume of cases.  We even brought a team all the way from Australia that specializes in paintless dent removal on automobiles.  Here’s a photo of Robert, a Dent Wizard specialist from Sidney.

Please be patient as we do our best to settle every claim.  The process can seem complicated and cumbersome at times, but our goal is to “get you back where you belong.”

For the most part, the damage done to houses can often wait a little longer to be repaired.  If you experienced damage to your car you’re probably especially anxious to have that corrected.   That’s where your Farmers glass deductible buyback coverage can be so helpful.  Many customers have had their windshields replaced (for only a $100 deductible) while waiting for dent removal on the body of their vehicles. 

If you had damage to your windshield and have not had it repaired or replaced yet, call our office at 937-848-6840 for instructions on what to do next.  Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns you may have about any of your claims.  If we don’t have the answers right away, we’ll find out and get back to you as soon as possible.
