Deer Hit
Today on my way to work I, a deer hit me. Scaried the crap out of me. Here's some pictures before I take it in to get it fixed.I guess I'm offically in the club of another one bites it.
Hopefully my little blue skate will be ok. Sorry for the bad pictures, it was still kinda dark out and raining. My second time a deer hit me in a toyota, first was in a 1999 Corrolla.

you are very lucky to not get a head on with the deer. That's very minor damage. I once seen a TREE FLY BY, it hit the hood deflector and continued it's way, without damaging anything lol. It was at night, so nobody saw it... Or i must be crazy XD BTW, you decide where you want your car to be fixed. It's not up to the insurance to pick a place for you. I'd bring it back to the dealer... |

Yeah, I'm fine, just scaried me alittle. If I didn't hit the deer I would of gotten rear ended very badly, I either had to hit the deer or veer off the road or get rear ended, no way out of that one. The person behind me was pretty much on my bumper. When I hit the dear I veered off unto the small shoulder, and the guy behind me also hit a deer too.

I HATE deer. There should be a longer deer hunting season. I got hit by one about a week or two after I got my last car.

I'm lucky enough to live somewhere where deers don't reside. But we have raccoons and squirrels running across streets and highways all the time... THEY get hit alot... And it's really not the best thing to see when they get hit. Brain and blood squashing out and spread all over the place when that happens. |

It doesn't look like you killed the deer... You just got it mad enough that it keyed your passenger door...

Not sure if you're still driving it (it's obviously in good enough condition), but you might want to look at that tire... just above the red dot it looks like there might be some sort of perforation in the sidewall.

From the looks of things, there probably won't even be any cutting involved. Just a lot of wrenching, and some minor hammering to re-align all the bolt-holes. It hit the front fender, and the door, the main vehicle looks just fine. So yeah, easy to replace the damaged pieces at least!

Got the estimate done, a little more damage then I thought, the quarter panel is dented at the rocker area and minor- minor frame damage (just a tap on the unibody). The estimate came out to be about $1750. Also it will need some alignment work it is all out of wack on that. Not as bad as I thought, insurance is covering it all, I got a rental car also it is a Ford fusion (all they had other than a minivan), not a bad car ,pretty nice for what it is. They will have it though next week.

Some better pictures:
This is what I missed looking at it the first time. Oh yeah, went by to see if deer was still there and it wasn't just some blood. Don't know if I killed it but it is hurt for sure.
