Best Answer

You should begin first by having some evidence of damage such as a mechanic's estimate of what the repair cost will be. You should have pictures of the pothole and its approx size. Pictures of damage to your wheel or suspension systems would also help and should be noted on mechanics estimate. Send certified letter to city attorney about your claim. Your claim MUST be denied by the city before you can sue, this may take more time. You will need proof of this denial before you file your suit and agian have claim served upon the city attorney by the sheriffs dept. If they know they are in the wrong they may settle out prior to trial, if not, make sure you bring evidence and especially any witnesses that were either with you or may have seen you strike the pothole.

Can you sue the city for damages done to your car by bumps and potholes in the road?

In some towns or cities yes. We can in Canada. *Filing a lawsuit for any reason should be a last resort rather than the first choice. In US cities a motorist who has incurred damage should file a complaint with the city street department. Please be advised, generally a claim will not be considered valid if the pothole or obstruction that caused the damage was not previously reported to the proper agency.

Which city has the potholes in the us?

Having driven in many cities in the US I would have to say that Detroit Michigan has some of the worst roads in the country. I drive a lot in the state of Oklahoma. In Tulsa, the roads are really bad and uneven. Potholes there range anywhere from 1' to 6' in diameter and up to 2' deep in some places. Those potholes are just the ones located on paved roads. Some dirt or gravel roads have had up to half of the road missing after a big storm."During the fiscal year 2000-01, 83,613 potholes were repaired." That was from a report given by the city, on the conditions of roads in Tulsa. Those numbers, however, are just an estimate of the potholes that have been reported as repaired according to city maintenance records. There are still more potholes that haven't been reported, fixed, or are on roads that the city isn't responsible for maintaining.
