So, unfortunately tonight a deer ran into my car while my wife was driving it. Hit it pretty hard, the deer is stone cold and probably being prepared for freezing as I write this, by a tow truck driver who claimed it at the scene.
As for my car, the door is totaled along with the mirror. theres a big dent in the front fender as well. no airbag deployment fortunately.
should I file a claim or eat the cost personally? I have a $500 deductible.
Car is older, 2010 but an Audi (invitation to get raped on parts).
will my insurance rates hike up even more as the result of this claim, and will it impact rates for the summer/weekend sports car I bought this winter that I plan to put on the road in April?
I'm sure the accident will appear on Carfax, but as I said, its an older car so not as likely to really impact resale once it gets to 200k kms, when id be most likely to sell it.
