Why deer damage is often worse than it looks
Impact force can travel beyond a cracked bumper or dented hood. We inspect mounting points, cooling, lighting, safety sensors, and panels before planning the repair.
What to do after hitting a deer
Move to safety, turn on hazard lights, and stay in the vehicle if traffic makes it unsafe to exit. Call 911 for injuries or blocked traffic; report significant damage to local law enforcement. Stay away from the animal. Only when safe, photograph the vehicle, scene, and debris. If fluids leak, warning lights appear, or the vehicle does not drive normally, stop driving and call for towing. Ask your insurer about your coverage.
Insurance and deer strikes
Animal collisions are commonly handled under comprehensive coverage, but policies and deductibles differ. Ask your insurer what applies. Florida drivers may choose their repair shop. We help document the repair, communicate with the insurer, and submit supplements if additional damage is found.
