This is the first year South Carolina is in the top 10 with a 1 in 93 chance of colliding with a deer.\u00a0What causes these significant changes in deer collision rates?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Periods of daily high-deer movement around dawn and dusk as well as seasonal behavior patterns, such as during the October-December breeding season, increase the risk for auto-deer collisions,&#8221; said Ron Regan, executive director for the Association of Fish &amp; Wildlife Agencies. &#8220;Changes in collision rates from year to year are a reflection of changing deer densities or population levels \u2013 more deer in a given area increases the potential for collision. Deer populations are also affected by conditions such as new or improved roads with higher speeds near deer habitat, changes to hunting seasons to manage wildlife, winter conditions, and other related factors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>More 2014 State Farm deer collisions facts: <\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The national cost per claim average is $3,888, up 13.9 percent from 2013 ($3,414). <\/li>\n<li>The months a driver is most likely to collide with a deer in the U.S., mostly due to mating and hunting seasons, are:<br \/>1.\u00a0 November<br \/>2.\u00a0 October <br \/>3.\u00a0 December <\/li>\n<li>Ten percent of the country&#8217;s deer collisions occur in Pennsylvania (123,941 collisions), though when taking into account the amount of licensed drivers in the state, West Virginia still edges out as number one with a likelihood of 1 in 39 compared to Pennsylvania&#8217;s\u00a01 in 71 (second ranked state). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>For more safety tips and state-by-state statistics, please <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.multivu.com\/players\/English\/7292852-state-farm-insurance-deer-collision-driver-safety-data\" target=\"_blank\"><i>click here.<\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Methodology:<br \/><\/b>Using its claims data and state licensed driver counts from the Federal Highway Administration, State Farm, the nation&#8217;s leading auto insurer, calculates the chances of any single American motorist striking a deer during the time frame of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
