Hail Season Impacts Property Owners in Colorado Springs, Affecting Insurance Claims
What happened
Hail season is impacting property owners in El Paso County, Colorado Springs.

Disputes concentrate on the gap between insurance approval and full payment, which is shaped by deductible structure, roof age, and policy valuation language.
