Just to play devils advocate. Sounds like a combination of bad luck and poor judgement.

When you hit that curb you were going too fast for conditions if you were going faster than your headlights were allowing you to see the road to avoid obstacles. Then when you hit the deer you stated the area had a ton of deer yet you were going 55mph, again too fast for the conditions.

Some much of it was bad luck but you def could have avoided some significant damage had you been more risk adverse.
