🦌 The clocks went back, and the deer are on the move.
There were about 1.7 million animal collision claims in the U.S. from July 2024 to June 2025, more than 1.1 million of them with deer. About 41% happened from October through December (State Farm).
Stay safe on your commute:
✅ Slow down at dawn and dusk, when deer are most active
✅ Where you see one deer, expect more
✅ Brake firmly and stay in your lane; swerving often causes worse crashes
💡 Hitting an animal is usually covered under comprehensive coverage, not collision. Not sure if you have it? Send us a message and we'll check.
