Tell them the deer ran into your car. Don’t say you hit it.

Haha, I explained it clearly. I was going between a group of deer—one on the road, others on the side. I slowed down, and the one in the middle turned back and ran into me.

It doesn’t matter if you say the deer hit your car or you hit it. What matters is that you didn’t swerve and hit something else. If it’s just the deer, it’s a comp claim and not your fault.
@TellurideTribe
True, it could have been way worse.

A comp claim is a comp claim. It doesn’t change anything.
It’s hunting season. I just hope everyone is fine.
Sorry this happened to you. Glad there are no deer where I live. I’ve seen videos online of deer jumping onto cars for no reason.
This happened to my 21 Sportage too. Did $16K in damage but wasn’t totaled.

Good luck with yours .

Thanks! Mine wasn’t totaled, so they might fix yours too.
Don’t worry, the headlight is only around $1500.
That deer should end up in a pot or on the grill. BBQ time.
That’s really unfortunate. Hope you’re okay.
No pics of the deer dinner? Missed opportunity.
Same thing happened to me recently. Mine was worse, but it got fixed.

Oh no, yours looks worse than mine. Hope you’re okay .
