Suppose you’re driving down a curvy road and a deer jumps out in front of you? You hit your brakes but it’s too late – the deer rams into your car and runs away. Oh, no – is this going to count as an accident on your record?
Fortunately, when you hit a deer…we actually blame it on the deer. In other words, you didn’t hit the deer…the deer hit you!
This doesn’t count as a “collision” claim; it counts as a “comprehensive” claim. That’s good news because comp claims do not affect your insurance premium. Plus, you may have a lower deductible for comprehensive damage. If you have our “Glass” coverage, and your windshild is damaged, your deductible will be even lower.
So watch out for those deer – that keep running into cars!
