1. Allen Says: Cost me over $400 to get a new rim and tire (this after looking around!). It was dark out and I didn't see the pothole until it was too late.
2. Naginatorz Says: in england we pay road tax, so you pay to be able to have a car on the road. that money theoretically goes towards fixing roads. if you have a similar system, then yeah, they should pay for damages
3. Pelicantor Says: It's like you allow people go in your park for free,
and they jump out of a tree and break their leg and ask you to pay for it

You didn't have to drive on the government's road
4. drskimmer Says: You can try but I seriously doubt that you will win this one. This happend to me. I just bit the bullet and bought a junkyard rim and tire.
5. sarah l Says: No you can't!
6. Onnied Says: they might if you can prove it,its best to stop when it happens and make a police report
