Oh, deer! What drivers should know about animal collisions

As fall approaches, drivers everywhere will have a new set of factors to consider as they get behind the wheel. Earlier sunsets mean less visible roads and, depending on where you live, a change in weather could result in more rain or snow. These are just a few conditions drivers can expect as the season changes.

But the fall also signifies the seasonal migration of animals, particularly deer, throughout large parts of the country. One-third (34%) of all animal collision comprehensive claims are filed during the fall, according to Farmers Insurance.
