The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) estimates that there are more than 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions each year. This can cause a significant amount of damage to your vehicle, around $2,800 per claim and could add up to around $10,000 total when adding in the costs related to bodily injury.
In some cases, it can have even more catastrophic results, to the tune of 150 lives lost annually.
If you've unfortunately hit a deer, don't touch it. You never know what they'll do when they're frightened or wounded. Instead, get to a safe place, and call the police.
