Deer Collision No. Liability insurance is triggered when you are at-fault for an accident. It's used to pay for the damage you cause to someone else's property, not your own.

What type of insurance will cover damages to your car if you hit a deer while driving through a parking lot?
Actually, hitting a deer is generally covered by your comprehensive coverage, not collision. Comprehensive covers "acts of God," which include hitting animals because it was an act of God that the animal was there at that time. Reading your insurance policy will clarify exactly which kinds of claims are covered by which types of insurance. There are 3 catagories for car insurance: 1. Liability (covers you if you hit someone else) 2. Comprehensive (covers you if an uninsured driver hits you), and 3. Collision (covers you if you hit something -for instance, a deer-)

Will your insurance rates go up for hitting an animal?
If you make a claim and have comprehensive coverage then you insurance rate may increase slightly. All insurance companies are different, but they are all based on the same system, level of risk to insure and probability of making a claim. By hitting the deer you have increased both these factors. However since it was not an at-fault accident and there is already a deductible to decrease fraudulent claims, your rate should only increase slightly.
If you dodge a deer and wreck your car does your insurance cover you?
If you hit the deer, it would fall under your COMPREHENSIVE auto coverage (if you have it). You need deer hair on the car, at the point of impact, for it to be covered under comp. Roughly 25% of all US drivers lack this coverage and the understanding of ALL of the things that it can cover. If you avoid the deer, and crash, then it would fall under your COLLISION auto coverage (if you have it), and would count as an at fault accident, and your rate/premium could increase. However, do not listen to those who tell you Not to avoid hitting that deer. Since deer have long legs, they generally "fly" over the hood through the windshield. This can result in serious bodily injury. Sometimes the driver is even paralyzed for life.
