I recently had a deer jump into the front seat with me on my way to work. The animal left a ton of hair and blood all over the interior. Insurance only wants to pay for a clean and detail job plus the glass and dash. The repair shop owner says they have to replace the carpet, seats, dash, radio, headliner and heater control because of germs from the blood.

Anyone have an experience with this? Is there any documentation out there spelling out the health issues by leaving the blood in things?

Estimated damage at around $8,000 and there is no body damage, it's mainly inside issues.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks to all.
