If you are one of the unlucky people to have had your windshield broken, you know how unpleasant that can be because it is usually not the driver's fault. Because, it is likely not be your fault, you shouldn't have to pay for the replacement.
In fact, did you know that if your windshield is cracked or damaged by a rock falling from a truck, you can call up the truck company if you can get the name off the side or the back of the vehicle and some identifying information like the license plate. You can tell the company what happened, and often, the company will pay for the replacement of the windshield for you.
Also, if you woke up with a broken windshield or something hit you on the roadway, you may contact your state's Department of Transportation and explain the situation. The DoT should have a budget for this. I recently called the DoT for this issue and although, they had no specific person I could talk to, I spoke to the person who makes the budget and he asked that I submit all information to him directly for review.
Also, in many states such as Florida, if you have comprehensive insurance, they will cover the windshield replacement for any purpose.
