  • Person involved in accident is unusually familiar with insurance terms and procedures or medical or vehicle repair terminology.
  • Person in accident lists a post office box or hotel as an address and mail is avoided.
  • Person involved in accident threatens to go to an attorney or physician if the claim is not quickly settled.

Farm Bureau helps fight fraud through its special investigation unit. These people and our Claims staff are trained in the area of fraud detection and investigation.

Windshield Repair Keeps Your Premiums Down

The replacement cost of windshields typically range from $250 – $1000! A repair is typically about $50.

This savings results in lower premiums to you.

Small chips and cracks can be safely repaired resulting in large savings. A repair is a process of injecting clear liquid resin into the damaged area. The resin is then cured by ultra violet light until hard. This will restore the clarity and strength to the auto glass.

The repair process usually takes 30-60 minutes, preserves the original factory seal, and is fully guaranteed. If the repair fails, the price of the repair goes toward the replacement.

Help keep your premiums low, consider windshield repair.
