Default Re: Hit a deer in my '06 Prius

Gee, it is heartbreaking to see a perfectly good car trashed like that.

At least, you did not get hurt and that's whats trully important.

I've had my share of wildlife collisions and I can sympathize. But I can also say that there is something worse than a wildlife collision: Domestic animal collision !!

Last time I had such a collision I had to resolve it in court because my insurance company did not want to cover it. They claimed that the home owner's property insurance should pay for it. First, I had to find who the animal (horse) belonged to in a remote town I did not know. Then, came the rest that unfolded over months of stress and legal entanglements. After this experience I wished I had hit 5 dear or 2 Moose- it would have been easier on me.
