Guys, be very careful when you drive!!!! As it turns out the City of Los Angeles is not held responsible for any damages that may happen to your car in result to a pothole. I filed a claim in December 07 and they told me i will get a answer in October '08 :mad0 259:with an 80% chance that they are not liable. So again, just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

i never knew that you could file claims for damages due to potholes. interesting. i always try to avoid them at all costs!

I filed a claim against Los Angeles, because a water main had broken and created a 1 foot deep pothole...don't know if it's the same thing as 'normal' potholes, but I was paid by the city for custom wheels and tires within two weeks, no questions asked. Police came and took a report, which might have helped.

Your state/city government is responsible for the roads that you pay taxes to maintain. If they fail to provide a safe/undamaging driving experience in paved roads, you most likely have a claim.
