That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Why should tax payers write the check for someone that doesn't pay attention to the road? How is the state supposed to control what wild animals do?

Hitting a Deer is unavoidable and not the drivers fault. the owner could have carried greater advantageous insurance. S%$T happens, If the owner is attempting to get the motive force to pay then they are being a jerk, it would have got here approximately in basic terms an identical regardless of who replaced into in the back of the wheel. Thats like telling the motive force he has to pay for damages if the bridge your on collapses, it has no longer something to do with the drivers skill and neither does hitting a deer. every physique who has hit a deer is conscious this, in case you havent hit a deer then shutup you dont understand what your talking approximately.

At first I thought this was a joke but I think you are serious about it.
Think about it, why would the state pay for the damages to your car caused by a wild animal?? It just doesn't make any sense.
They would not pay the damages. Turn it in to your insurance. Hitting an animal is a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim as someone else said.

I don't know about OH, but in NE even if the deer hits your car, it's still your problem to fix.
I had a deer run into the side of my car when I was going 60mph down the highway. I got a big dent in the passenger doors and the rear passenger side fender. It is still classified as you hitting a deer.

Only if the deer was an employee of the state! I understand most of them are unemployed, though. The only one with a steady job is Bambi.

Uhhh.... No! That is covered under your comprehensive insurance.
OH will just say that it's a WV deer that wandered across the state line. (And if you 're from OH, you get the joke.)

That would surprise me very much if they did.In Texas the state does not pay for that and if you hit a cattle the owner can force you to pay for the value of his livestock.

Of course not! If the deer dies you can keep it, though. Just be sure to claim it properly.

the state does pay for damages in Indiana, so it is not as far fetched as some people think, but every state is different.

The deer hit you or you hit the deer??? I dont think so, Scooter.
