Avoiding
Animals In 1996, approximately 270,000 automobile collisions with animals occurred, resulting in human injury or property damage, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatal Accident Reporting System.
Although most deer and other animal related accidents do not involve human fatalities, more than 16,000 each year result in injuries, and more than 250,000 in damaged or totaled cars, adding up to more than $1 billion in insurance claims annually.
Motorists with proper insurance should be fully insured for damages resulting from an animal related collision.
However, for those who opt to go without the comprehensive and collision components of their auto insurance often will be hit with repair bill costs averaging $1,300 or more.
When driving: Be alert in rural areas and always wear your seat belt.
If you see an animal, slow down and honk your horn to scare it away. If you are unable to stop to avoid hitting the animal, do not swerve.
It is better to hit the animal head-on than hitting another object or car.
