Your daughter can dispute the $500.00 deductible, she can say it was beyond her control that a turkey flew out in front of her. They should drop that deductible and the windshield should be paid in full. But, if she has collision on her insurance policy, that $500.00 deductible shouldn't come into play if only the windshield is broken. If there is damage to other parts of the car then that's when the $500.00 comes into effect. But, if I were her I would dispute the deductible. She should win.

I did, when my husband hit a deer and when the branch fell out of the sky and went through the windshield. The insurance company dropped the deductible. Thank God my husband wasn't a little more to the right of the lane, he probably would have been impaled by that branch.

But, tell her to dispute it. That turkey was beyond her control.
