no it's not counted as an accident.
I don't know that specific answer but I do know from personal experience as a tow truck driver in Ohio that if you hit a deer and want to keep the deer meat that unless you get a tag from the dept of fish and game for that deer ( I think its called a waiver tag for misc. use but don't quote me on that) the insurance co. will not pay the claim. For example you hit a deer and you have full coverage, if you claim the deer meat without that tag( which you have the right to do but i would not recommend it) the insurance co. WILL leave you high and dry. Hope this helps.
In Ohio, the state is generally not liable for damage caused by deer or other wildlife. This is because the responsibility for such incidents typically falls on the driver, as wildlife collisions are considered an unavoidable risk. Drivers are encouraged to have comprehensive insurance coverage to help cover damages from such accidents. However, if a specific roadway condition contributed to the accident, there may be potential grounds for a claim against the state.
typcially the insurance stays with the car....if you have collision coverage (if no actual contact with the deer would be collision rather than comprehensive coverage), your insurance would cover.....in most states if there is no collision coverage on the vehicle, but the driver has a vehicle that has the needed coverage it would then apply.........
Whitetail deer are the only native deer found in Ohio.
Liabilty will not cover damage from a collision with a deer no matter what insurance company you have. Animal collisions are covered under "Comprehensive" or "Other Than Collision" coverage. Liability only covers damage you do when you are at fault.
The insurance follows the vehicle so your own insurance company would be primary. However, if you don't carry the comprehensive coverage on your own policy and your friend has a vehicle with comprehensive coverage, his coverage would be secondary and pay for the damages.
We hit a dead deer once and then at another time a deer ran into the side of our van. Our insurance covered the damage but our deductable still applied. However, it was not a 'charged' accident and it did not affect our rates...Different company than this one but it appeared as this was the industry policy.... Hope this helps....... It would be unusual for someone to have collision coverage without comprehensive coverage and one or the other would apply depending on the exact wording of the policy.
No one knows for sure, but the white tailed deer is common there.
Then you are in luck !! If you have comprehensive coverage, because that is the coverage that covers an animal hit.
If you have collision coverage, then it should.

The state of NY is not going to pay for damages to your car if you hit a deer. You need to make a police report and contact your car insurance agent.
