I hit a deer with my car. What coverage does this fall under?

If you have hit a deer with your car you should place a claim for the damages to your vehicle under your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage covers your vehicle, and sometimes other vehicles you may be driving for losses resulting from incidents other than collision. For example, comprehensive insurance covers damage to your car if it is stolen; or damaged by flood, fire, or animals. This coverage pays to fix your vehicle less the deductible you choose.
