Q: What can I do if someone throws something at my moving vehicle on purpose? Its threating.
A:
Obtain their license plate number, call police and report it. . Do not try and confront the persons throwing the items at your car.
If it really is intentional the insurance company for the person who threw the item will not pay for the damage. You will likely find that the thrower does not have money to pay for the damage so you may have to make a claim on your uninsured motorist property damage policy.
Your Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverages are the only way you can protect your self from those who cause harm but have no resources to pay for the harm they do. never, ever, decline either of these two coverages. i know money can be tight, but these coverages are not as expensive as the cost of paying to get a dent out of your car caused by some jerk throwing something at you.
A:
If your insurance will cover this, a factor to consider is the deductible. If the damage is superficial, the deductible could outweigh any possible payments. Good luck
