Why Cook County roofs take a beating

The Great Lakes states get the full range of severe weather: spring and summer supercells bring hail and damaging straight-line winds, occasional tornadoes track through, and winter piles on ice and heavy snow load. Wind and hail are the roof claims that recur every season. Cook County's roughly 5,087,072 residents, concentrated around Chicago, are most exposed to wind and hail — and the denser the housing, the more a single wind event can flood the claim funnel at once.

Illinois storm claim rules

Reporting: Report storm damage to your insurer promptly, most policies require notice 'as soon as practicable' after the loss.

Deadline: The deadline to file and to sue on a property claim is set by your policy and your state's law, and varies widely. Don't wait: read your policy's 'suit against us' / claim-reporting clause and confirm with your state insurance department.

Deductibles: Many policies in storm-prone areas use a separate wind/hail deductible, a percentage (commonly 1%–5%) of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.

General information, not legal advice — verify with Your state's Department of Insurance (search '[state] department of insurance storm claim'). See the Illinois storm damage hub for statewide claim guidance.
