COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Following storms with baseball-sized hail that moved through the southern edge of Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas on June 13, Farmers Insurance^® has deployed catastrophe response claims representatives, other personnel and resources to help assist customers.

Head of Claims Customer Experience for Farmers^® Jim Taylor encourages residents to take a careful look at their homes and autos for potential damage. Customers should be cautious when attempting to drive a vehicle that may have severe damage to a window, headlights or taillights and consider whether the vehicle needs to be towed for repair. Homeowners are also encouraged to assess the outside of their home and look for potential hail-related damage, including damage to pools, hot tubs, patio furniture and other exterior structures.

Affected customers can file a claim by calling their agent, online at www.farmers.com/claims, using the Farmers^® app through their smartphone or tablet, or by calling the 24-hour claims center:

Farmers Claims Contact Center number: 1-800-435-7764.
