My 2008 Cayman was hit by a deer in September of this year. My wife and I were driving down a rural road when the deer jumped into our path and hit the car while it was air born. The damage to the car was the hood, right headlight, bumper cover and right fender. The airbags did not go off and the cost to get it fixed was $5900. As others have stated, it was a comprehensive claim with lower deductible and does not count against my insurance rating. My friend at the bodyshop said, "whatever you do, always hit the deer" meaning don't try to avoid it and hit a tree or another car. His rationale was that "deer are soft" and trees and cars are hard.
