What to do when the car glass is broken?

A clear windshield is one of the most important components of a car, as it allows the driver to see through it and prevent accidents. There are two main factors that can affect your overall visibility - the first is when the windshield is not sufficiently cleaned and the second is when it's broken or cracked. Often clubbed under the term broken car glass, a chipped or shattered windshield can be quite dangerous as it can cause accidents while driving. So, the minute you notice that you’ve got broken car glass, you need to take your car to the right experts immediately!

How can you end up with broken car glass?

A windshield can get chipped or cracked due to many different reasons. If you’ve gotten into a car accident, the impact may be absorbed by the windshield, which then cracks under the pressure. Sometimes, a stone flung from the tyre of another car may cause the windshield to suddenly crack. Vandalism and sheer bad luck can also lead to broken car glass.

What’s the first thing you should do when the car glass breaks?

The first thing you need to do is check yourself for injuries (if you have been in an accident). Once that is done, no matter how strong the urge may be, make sure you do not press or touch the broken windshield. Sometimes, an accident can lead to an unstable frame, which may cause some of the tempered glass to fall on you. Even though tempered glass is not sharp and is believed to not be harmful, it is better not to have pieces fall on you or in your eyes.

Once you’ve checked yourself for injuries, make sure you take pictures of your car for insurance purposes. Call your car insurance provider immediately and inform them of the upcoming claim. Generally, car insurance claims also cover repairs to the windshield, so you can save yourself a huge financial drain by filing a claim on time.
