Here are some interesting facts: •7 million car accidents occur in the U.S. each year – total cost to insurers? $164.2 Billion •For ages 2-34, car accident is the leading cause of death •30,000+ annually die in car accidents •21% of all fatal accidents are side-impact collisions •60% of your car’s structural integrity in a crash/rollover comes from a properly-installed windshield. Think of the “egg test” – if you take an egg between your thumb and index finger, end to end, and squeeze, the egg will not break because it’s structurally “sound”. But, put a pinhole in the egg – that is the equivalent of an improperly-installed windshield – and the egg will crack easily. •If ever you need to break a window in your car, always choose the driver’s side door window first…typically, those are the easiest and cheapest windows to replace. NEVER break the small triangle windows, usually in the rear areas, as those typically have a lot of technological things built into them, therefore they are the costliest to replace. •There are 10.9 million vehicle glass claims in the U.S. each year – total cost to insurers? $2.2 Billion
