What to Know
Deer Damage Isn't Always Obvious
The visible damage after a deer collision — a dented hood, a cracked bumper, a broken headlight — is usually straightforward to identify. What's less obvious is whether the impact affected anything beneath the surface. Depending on how the collision occurred, there may be damage to body structure, mounting points, or other components that aren't visible from the outside.
An inspection helps determine what repairs are needed based on the damage we can identify during the initial assessment. We'll document what we find and explain the repair process so you understand what we're seeing and what comes next.
Next Steps
What Should I Do After Hitting a Deer?
If you've hit a deer, here are the practical next steps:
- 1
Get safely off the road when possible. Turn on your hazard lights and move to a shoulder or parking area if you can do so safely.
- 2
Do not approach the deer. An injured animal can be unpredictable.
- 3
Contact emergency services when appropriate, including if anyone is injured, the vehicle is creating a roadway hazard, or the situation requires immediate assistance.
- 4
Document the damage and scene with photos when it is safe to do so. These may be useful during the insurance claim process.
- 5
If you plan to file an insurance claim, contact your insurance company to report the collision. Your insurer can explain what coverage applies under your specific policy.
