Sucks about the accident. Injuries heal, cars can get replaced. Hope things turn out as painless as possible.

FYI If at all possible, DO NOT hit the deer head on. Swerve, hit a ditch. Do whatever you can do. Unless your only choice is a deer or a cliff. Hitting a deer head on at that speed will either kill you or hurt you really badly. People think the deer will fly over. What you are actually doing is breaking the deers legs off allowing the torso to hit the windshield. Simple physics, take a billiard ball, set it on top of a small block. Hit the block fast enough and the block flys off and the ball just drops straight down. That in essence is what you are doing when you hit a deer at that speed. legs gone, torso still there to total your car and quite possibly your upper body and head.

2 cents.
