Accidents with deer and animals
Accidents with deer and animals
You’re covered if you have comprehensive insurance, which is an optional coverage you can add to your auto policy. FYI: Most drivers do add comprehensive. See more examples below of how animals can cause damage and how you’re covered.
You’re covered in a variety of accidents and situations
- You hit an animal
- An animal runs into your car
- An animal burrows into your car (sounds crazy, but sometimes raccoons tear into seat cushions, or rodents make nests under the hood)
Note: Your vehicle can still be covered if you swerve to avoid hitting an animal and then hit another vehicle/object or overturn your car. But, that would instead be covered by collision and not comprehensive. Collision is also an optional coverage.
See a comparison of comprehensive vs. collision.
What to do when you hit a deer
- Move your vehicle to the side of the road, away from the animal
- Call the police and let them know if[…]
