I hate potholes with a fiery passion

get claims from the city. it shouldn't be a problem if you tell them where the hole is, preferably with pics of the offending hole.

Claim was denied by the town's insurance carrier. Apparently they're only liable if they knew about the pothole beforrehand and fail to repair it. I guess I'll have to carry a pen and paper for pothole documentation purposes from this point on in fear of damage at a later date.

Road repairs, what a novel idea that no place seems to have figured out.

Well in our area with the economy and all the cut backs the cities don't have enough money to fix all the potholes and in the Greater Boston area with the heavy Winters there is a shit load of them. I've had to replace my brake lines and exhaust thanks in part to potholes.

Same area, but I've yet to lose anything to them fortunately. My town has always been terrible about pot hole repair though, long before the economy went south.

you should.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I was on a jury where a guy was suing a town because of a pothole that screwed up his car... the guy had to show evidence that the town was aware of the pothole and failed to take proper measures to repair or put warnings around it (there was one of those metal plates covering the potholes, but the city failed to properly inspect the site on a regular basis; the pothole expanded under the metal plate to the point where, when the guy in question drove over it, it just collapsed)
