Default Deer!

hit a deer last nite in the z bout 30 mph. sry no pics but front edge of hood bent in bout an inch, driver quarter panel dented in, looks like it could be bent back out and repainted. hood moved back about 3/4 in and pass airbag deployed. got a claim number from cop.
Anyone have similar situation, how much for a pass airbag?

thanks

Slightly more than your deductible.

Insurance will cover it then. I've seen companies handle wildlife collisions in different ways. Your rates will likely suffer a bit but not near as bad as if you paid for all the damage out of pocket. Basically you pay whatever your deductible on collision is and pay a little higher each month in the future.
