Damaged Awning Question

[captnjack]

Last night I caught the awning on a tree limb while maneuvering in my driveway and it got pulled open and damaged. Most of the damage is on extension arms and frame. I took it off myself because there was no way to secure it back on to trailer.
Anyone have any experience with insurance claims for this type of incident? I use GEICO. Will that lizard or ghekko or whatever he is help me out?

Thanks for the replies.

I wiped out my entire awning a couple of years ago and Progressive paid for everything.

Several years ago I side swiped a tree in a narrow park. Tore the awning, and roof up pretty bad. SF paid for everything minus my deductable.

You should have coverage minus your deductible and possibly some depreciation for the awning fabric itself. Check on a price to see if it's close to your deductible. If it is, pay yourself rather than file your claim. If it's a good bit over, which it might be, then file a claim.
