The pothole in question.

[algore]

I hit a pothole like that back in the early 90s

I got 3 estimates and made a claim with the city for a new rim and tire.

Yes they paid me, it was like $400

To hear her tell it, it must have been like this...

That’s pretty bad! Of course, I live in NJ, the home of potholes

My co-worker’s car got all messed up from hitting a pothole on the approach to the Garden State Parkway!

I specifically bought my vehicles for the last decades to not have a sunroof, to give me the greatest amount of headroom, possible.

This lady is responsible for her own injury.

THAT IS A TIRE BUSTER !!!

And her car was still drivable after hitting a pothole that she claimed did that kind of damage to her?

Not buying it.

That said, she’ll probably win, sadly.

Not that I have any sympathy for cities which do not repair potholes, but because she’s just trying to win life’s lottery and should not be rewarded for that kind of grifting.

"Woman claims life-altering injuries after driving over Portland pothole, in $3.6 million lawsuit"

I have wondered what will be the smallest pothole required to total an EV.

My street had one appear very similar in size to that one. I emailed DPW. Within a few hours it was fixed.

But then a week ago, I was in Ft. Wayne, IN for work. I was pulling a 1 foot trailer loaded down to about 6000 lbs. The road took a turn but the curb didn’t and stuck out into the road. That along with a 4” deep hole right in front of it launched my entire trailer into the air and broke a leaf spring in the suspension.

That didn’t cause lifelong injuries to me but it sure got my attention.
