If you dodge a deer and wreck your car does your insurance cover you?

If you hit the deer, it would fall under your COMPREHENSIVE auto coverage (if you have it). You need deer hair on the car, at the point of impact, for it to be covered under comp. Roughly 25% of all US drivers lack this coverage and the understanding of ALL of the things that it can cover. If you avoid the deer, and crash, then it would fall under your COLLISION auto coverage (if you have it), and would count as an At Fault accident, and your rate/premium could increase. However, do not listen to those who tell you Not to avoid hitting that deer. Since deer have long legs, they generally "fly" over the hood through the windshield. This can result in serious bodily injury. Sometimes the driver is even paralyzed for life.

Answer it will if you have full accident insurance Answer only if you have full coverage. Actually, it depends on whether or not the deer was in a pedestrian crosswalk.

Can you claim for a car accident injury for swerving to miss a deer?
Yes you can. Even though your the one that swerved & caused the wreck your also the one that was trying to avoid the accident & hurting something. Which then caused your wreck. So if you hadn't swerved to miss the deer you would have hit the deer & been in a wreck anyway, plus you would have hurt the deer. So your wreck was inevitable, it was going to happen no matter what. Yes you can claim it, because you were actually trying to avoid an accident. Hope my answer helped. Good Luck!
Will liability insurance cover you if you hit a deer?
Deer Collision No. Liability insurance is triggered when you are at-fault for an accident. It's used to pay for the damage you cause to someone else's property, not your own. A deer hit would fall under comprehensive coverage, and isn't considered an at-fault loss. In some states, collisions with wildlife are covered by the state. Check with your insurance agent.

If you have deer whistles on your car and hit a deer do you have to pay your insurance deductible?
Yes, unless your insurance contract specifies that you would not. When you advise the insurance rep what deductable you want, you are basically saying, "if i get into an accident, this is the amount that I am agreeing to pay as my share of the cost of repairs". keep in mind, you would also need comprehensive insurance on your policy in order for the insurance company to cover the damages to your veh. in the event you hit a deer. Hope this helps!! I have been doing accident claims for 3 years now for a major insurance company.
