Generally YES, they do increase, being that there is no "third party" so-to-speak in which the insurer can subrograte against.

I say no, it is a comp claim and doesn't count against the driver. If the driver was cited for the incident, then they would go up.

Will your insurance rates go up for hitting an animal?

If you make a claim and have comprehensive coverage then you insurance rate may increase slightly. All insurance companies are different, but they are all based on the same system, level of risk to insure and probability of making a claim. By hitting the deer you have increased both these factors. However since it was not an at-fault accident and there is already a deductible to decrease fraudulent claims, your rate should only increase slightly.


Will my car insurance go up for hitting an animal?

Generally your auto insurance will not increase for an animal collision. This is paid by your comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance. The only danger of an increase is if your carrier gives you a discount for not having any claims for a certain period of time. You will loose this claim free discount if you have one. You will not incur any surcharges or points for an animal collision.

What type of insurance will cover damages to your car if you hit a deer while driving through a parking lot?

Actually, hitting a deer is generally covered by your comprehensive coverage, not collision. Comprehensive covers "acts of God," which include hitting animals because it was an act of God that the animal was there at that time. Reading your insurance policy will clarify exactly which kinds of claims are covered by which types of insurance. There are 3 catagories for car insurance: 1. Liability (covers you if you hit someone else) 2. Comprehensive (covers you if an uninsured driver hits you), and 3. Collision (covers you if you hit something -for instance, a deer-)


Does collision insurance cover hitting a deer?

What is comp auto insurance?

Comp, also referred to as comprehensive auto insurance coverage, is a form of coverage that is designed to pay to repair or replace your vehicle in certain situations. Covered scenarios that comprehensive auto insurance would pay include: theft, vandalism, fire, explosion, hail damage, wind damage, or hitting a live animal. The insurance company will pay up to the fair market value of your vehicle for repairs or replacing the vehicle. You will be responsible for paying your comprehensive deductible before the insurance company will payout.
