I guess this is a good thing? It is interesting to me that they haven't figured out a way to prevent or fill potholes better/faster. I guess until they do, this is a good thing.
Potholes have been an issue in the city for years — but if your car is damaged by one, you may be able to make a claim with the city.
“Two years ago, we had over 60,000 potholes, which is more than we ever had in history,” Williams said. “They pop up fairly quickly in abundance, and the challenge is to make sure we address them as quickly as possible.”
And about that car issue you’re facing? “We do have a risk management division that takes claims from people who have experienced problems with potholes. We settle the claim based on whatever insurance doesn’t cover. So yes, we can be held liable for potholes if they damage a vehicle.”
