If you live in the Phoenix area long enough, this will most likely happen to you: you’re driving along, and all of a sudden, you hear it — a dull thud. A rock that’s been kicked up from somewhere flew through the air and dinged your windshield.

The bad news when you need a new windshield is you need a new windshield. The good news is it won’t cost you anything to get it.

For more on that, we talked to Noel Young, regional counsel for Allstate insurance company in the Southwest.
