"First let's get rid of some common myths. We hear all the time "I hit a deer. I heard I can sue the state for not controlling its deer herd population." Wrong! In fact, the state has no obligation to bikers, or any other motorists, to control the deer herd population. If you hit a deer, you are on your own. The only source for recovery is if you have private medical insurance that may pay your hospital and medical bills. If you had purchased collision on your bike, your insurance company may help you out with your repair bills. Therefore, you should be extra careful driving at night in areas where there are known deer crossings. If you see a deer in the road, slow down even if you miss it. Remember, deer often travel in groups and there may be two or three more behind it about to jump into the road"
