Legal Trivia with Schultz & Myers: Pothole Damage

Schultz & Myers Law Firm answers who will pay for pothole repairs.

ST. LOUIS — Q: If you drive into a pothole and your car is damaged, who will pay for the repairs?

A: If you’re driving down the road, and you hit a pothole, there’s no rule that requires anyone to pay for that. However, if you can show that the city or the county was negligent maintaining those roads or weren’t fixing them for a long time, then they are responsible for your damages.
