Much more Ohio motorists are searching for repayment from the state for pothole damage to their automobiles, almost tripling the number of claims filed in 2013.
The Dayton Everyday News reports almost 300 pothole harm claims have been filed statewide so far this year, outnumbering final year’s total of 110 claims.
Clerk of the Ohio Court of Claims Mark Reed tells the newspaper the court doesn’t track how many claims are successful, but estimates about half of motorists win some compensation.
The state permits drivers to file claims for harm caused from potholes, but they must prove that the Ohio Department of Transportation maintains the road and that the state was aware of the hazardous road circumstances.
Drivers who are denied reimbursement for pothole harm need to also spend court fees.
