Much more Ohio motorists are looking for repayment from the state for pothole harm to their automobiles, nearly tripling the number of claims filed in 2013.
The Dayton Daily News reports nearly 300 pothole harm claims have been filed statewide so far this year, outnumbering last year’s total of 110 claims.
Clerk of the Ohio Court of Claims Mark Reed tells the newspaper the court doesn’t track how several claims are effective, but estimates about half of motorists win some compensation.
The state permits drivers to file claims for damage triggered from potholes, but they should prove that the Ohio Division of Transportation maintains the road and that the state was aware of the hazardous road conditions.
Drivers who are denied reimbursement for pothole harm need to also pay court fees.
