Deer

Hitting an animal is almost always covered under comprehensive coverage. Unless something else had happened, I would seek additional assistance with this claim because they should not be denying it.

Not all gap insurance is written in the same manner, so you may have to refer to your insurer to get more information. From my understanding, if you pay off the loan and didn't use gap insurance to do so, they will probably refund some premiums paid back to you.

As long as the driver is covered by the policy — they don't necessarily need to be listed — insurance should cover the damage. Most policies would cover a driver, who does not reside with you, borrowing the car.

Hello, Unfortunately, there is no way to instantly remove demerit points from your license since there was a collision. In a case where an animal is involved, insurers typically rule it to be safer to hit the animal than to swerve trying to miss it.

This is considered a single-vehicle accident which is considered at-fault. Unfortunately, in this instance, insurance companies would prefer that you not swerve to avoid a collision.

If your husband does not have collision coverage, then he does not have coverage for an at-fault accident. Typically single vehicle accidents (including swerving to avoid a deer) is considered at fault.

Since the other driver is at fault for the accident, you will want to file a claim with his insurance company. They would be the ones that will pay for your damages.

It really depends. In Arizona, a totaled vehicle is determined via a total loss formula.

Most companies do not require you to have a police report to file a claim. Double-check with State Farm to make sure but you shouldn't have any problems.

There's a couple of things to consider here. First, your first claim is considered a collision claim but your next claim would be considered a comprehensive claim.
