Pete, you are supposed to get the insurance BEFORE the deer hit!
When I hit the deer in California near San Luis Obispo, I called my agent right away. Since the deer was dead but off the road he said no need to call the highway patrol. He asked if I wanted my car towed home. I said no way, I will drive it if I can find a windshield. This was before I had a smart phone, so I asked him to dig around. He found a windshield place near my hotel in San Diego so I used packing tape to hold the windshield together and drove through LA traffic at rush hour. That was FUN!.
They had me take it to three body shops and I picked the place that I knew was a Porsche specialists. They wrote a check to me. I paid the bill and had insurance company appraiser come look at it after it was fixed and they were happy it was done right. It is my only car insurance claim since 1978 when a lady ran a stop sign and hit my 914.
