Q: My husband was in a car accident this morning around 5 am. It was foggy and a dear jumped out in front of him. He swerve
A: I'm sorry to hear about your husband's car accident. Hopefully, he was not injured and you have collision insurance on your vehicle.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: I'm sorry about your husband's encounter with the deer. I hope he and the deer are okay. Your question may have been cut off, but it seems likely you're wondering about handling any type of damage to the vehicle caused by swerving. If there is collision coverage on the vehicle, that might cover. Good luck
A: Take pictures of the damage and report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Generally speaking, most polices, if not all, have a requirement in the policy to timely report the claim and to cooperate with any investigation. Failure to do so may cause your insurance to deny your claim.
