October 14, 2019 - - The chances of deer-vehicle crashes are on the rise with mating season and the quest for more secure habitat sending deer on the move, according to AAA Oklahoma.
Deer are on the move now seeking new food sources and secure shelter. Typically, deer-vehicle crashes peak in mid-November during the height of the rut, or mating season, according to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, 186 vehicle crashes reported in 2017 were deer-related (crashes in which a deer and vehicle actually collided or the presence of a deer was a contributing circumstance).
“In addition to injuries and loss of life, deer collisions often cause significant vehicle damage that can lead to large expenses for the vehicle owner if not properly insured,” said Leslie Gamble, public and government affairs manager for AAA Oklahoma. “Of the animal strikes reported by AAA Insurance policy holders in 2018, the average cost per claim was more than $4,700.”
Be Insurance Prepared:
Purchase comprehensive coverage as part of your insurance policy or check with your insurance agent to make sure you have it. Vehicle damage due to collisions with animals is included in comprehensive coverage. Unfortunately, many drivers don’t and will have to pay out-of-pocket for repairs in a deer-vehicle wreck. Collision coverage pays for damage to your car from a collision only with an object (e.g., a telephone pole, a guard rail, a mailbox), or as a result of flipping over.
