Can you claim for a car accident injury for swerving to miss a deer?

Yes you can. Even though your the one that swerved & caused the wreck your also the one that was trying to avoid the accident & hurting something. Which then caused your wreck. So if you hadn't swerved to miss the deer you would have hit the deer & been in a wreck anyway, plus you would have hurt the deer. So your wreck was inevitable, it was going to happen no matter what. Yes you can claim it, because you were actually trying to avoid an accident. Hope my answer helped. Good Luck!

Who pays when a parked car is hit by another car that was hit for a running away car?

I believe you are saying one care is parked and is hit by another car that leaves the scene of the accident. If your vehicle has uninsured motorist coverage then the UM coverage will pay to repair your vehicle less your deductible. If later a witness or the offender turns himself in and your company had already paid, the other party will reimburse the insurance company and they will reimburse you for your deductible.

Who is at fault if a person backs out of a driveway and hits a parked car in the road and that care is partially blocking he drive way and facing the wrong directions of the traffic flow?

Can your car insurance pay you for pain and suffering if the other person is at fault?

What if you failed to get the insurance information of the party at fault in a car accident?

If you failed to contact the police after the accident you may be in serious trouble here. You have no proof that an accident even occurred except for the damage to your vehicle. Do you know the other party? If not why would you allow them to leave without getting some information from them? This sounds fishy to me and I'm sure it will to your insurance company as well. Unless you plan to just pay for it yourself, I would recommend that you tell the company the whole truth in the matter and not try to make up something to help a friend as they have seen it all.

What if you were in an accident in your dads car your bf was driving and the vehicle was in the state of ks but only had liability from Oklahoma and the person that caused the accident did not have in?

Insurance is sold and regulated state by state, but you are covered when you drive out of state. Also, insurance covers whoever is driving the car unless there is some weird law in Oklahoma that I don't know about.
