That is considered just every day road-hazard damage; in some states your insurance company will pay for a new windshield with no deductibe required.

Repair Your Windshield With Simple Steps?

One of the most frustrating experiences for a driver is watching a crack travel along the length of a windshield. The most astounding part of this experience is that it does not have to happen at all. In most cases, these cracks started out as tiny cracks that were not cared for and expanding into much larger cracks. A professional windshield repairman can fix these tiny cracks for a cost that is far lower than the cost of replacing an entire windshield. The tiny cracks in a windshield are known as micro abrasions. Basically this means they are a series of several miniscule cracks that have formed into a pattern. A sealant can be used on any micro abrasion that is less than the size of a nickel and often for a very reasonable price. Sealing these small cracks prevents them from becoming much larger and troublesome cracks. Many drivers feel that they can safely operate a vehicle that has a large crack in the windshield and that repair is unnecessary. What these drivers fail to realize is that cracks in the windshield can cause small distortions in the image of the objects outside of the vehicle. These small distortions can be the difference between nearly missing a collision with another vehicle and having a horrible accident. In addition, most states will not allow a car to pass the state inspection without a windshield that has no cracks in the reasonable visual field of the driver. Should a windshield need to be completely replaced, any reputable windshield repair shop can do it quickly and professionally. They will explain exactly what the process entails and how much it will cost before installing the windshield. Overall, there is little to no valid reason to not get a windshield repair professional involved at the first sight of a crack. The crack is never going to disappear on its own and will over time only get worse. Bad cracks in a windshield can lead to an increased risk of being involved in an accident and a loss of time and money if the accident is the fault of the driver with the crack windshield.
