What 4 things should you do if you hit a deer?
1. Don't swerve. It is sad to say, but if you try to swerve, statistics show that it doesn't help, and in fact can hurt - both you and the deer. The best bet is to jam on the brakes and minimize damage to you, the deer and your car. Deer can survive low speed accidents. You and a tree may not. A deer in the road can also be more quickly startled by screeching brakes and jump out of the way. 2. If you do hit the deer and it runs away (which sometimes they are fine enough to do), call the police to report the incident. Likely you have front bumper and hood damage. If there is blood on the car, call the police to have them verify that it was an animal, even if the deer runs away. It helps with the insurance. 3. Call your insurance company. Give them all the details, and if you did call the police, give them the name of the officer that turned up at the accident. 4. If the deer did not do well, call the police and explain that they need the DNR or Animal Safety, or its equivalent, such as the RSPCA (UK, Australia) at the scene. In some jurisdictions, the Sheriff's office is the best number to call, in Canada, the RCMP emergency hotline can route the call.
