I was heading home from a friends Halloween party minding my own business on a split 4 lane highway. I notice a deer in my lane, I get on the Brembo's and swerve into the left lane. I get around the deer and check my mirror as I knew there was another car a few hundred yards back. I've dropped down to 5th gear already and I realize he's not stopping and comin up on me quick. I mash the gas but the turbo isn't spooled so I don't get goin to fast, BAM he hits me in the right rear as I try to get back into the other lane. The damage isn't too bad from the looks of it, definitely need repair tho.
A friends father has a body shop and does some good work, so it'll be there on Monday.
I did get a ticket for unsafe lane change, which ill be fighting for sure. The cop said I shoulda hit the deer, he wasn't being mean at all, but apparently that's the laws take on it. Thats crap IMO, a 130lb deer goin through my windshield seems like something I should be able to legally avoid, we'll see how that argument goes.
Any tips for dealing with the insurance or the courts would be appreciated, never been in a car wreck before. I don't know who is considered at fault or who's insurance will be charged with the bills, I have Foremost he has Allstate.
Some pics of the damage and some pics of her that were taken last weekend.
