Default Stupid Wildlife. HELP!

So at about 11pm last night on my way down RT 2 I hit a damn DEER! I saw one in the middle of the road as I made the slight turn, so I clenched my bung hole and moved right to avoid it. Then BAM! I hit another one that had just started to cross into my lane! Lucky My EK is low enough that it took out his legs, and launched him up and over my car (didnt hit the windshield, roof, just the hood. He landed about 20 feet behind me.)

What's weird is that there were two dead deers when I got out to call the State Police. They think that I hit two somehow.

I'm going to my insurance today to see if they are going to total it or not. ugh. If they do, I'm buying it back and parting it out, if anyone is interested.

If all you have is liability, like I do, they wont cover this damage since it wasn't a car that hit you...thats my idea unless you have "deer coverage" insurance...

i take "full coverage" to mean the max payouts for bodily and property damage. if you have more than liability then insurance should cover it. then again we don't have deer running in the middle of the road in san diego. and i can see insurance companies being dicks about paying out deer damage. good luck that sucks, you car was nice and simple

That wouldn't total it, anyway.

I don't think liability will cover a deer. Different agencies might cover different things,however.
