Deer collisions generate about a third of Allen Mansberger’s business at Morgantown, West Virginia-based Allen’s Auto Body. Drivers usually pay $3,000 to $4,000 after an accident with a deer, he said, and the cost can be higher, depending on the car and the intensity of the collision.
“I’ve got an ‘09 Lincoln in there that’s going to be like $10,000,” Mansberger said.
