Good thread. I was driving my Hyundai late one night trying to do some food shopping at ShopRite in Bound Brook and I went over this bad pothole and it blew out my passenger's side front tire and bent the wheel a little. I called the local police number for them just to send out a cop to verify that I reported the pothole and damage was done to my car. I write the borough a letter stating I want the town to fix the damage because the pothole was never blocked off and supposedly it existed for about 4 days prior to that. I got to my local police station to drop off the paperwork and it turns out the secretary tells me the former mayor of our town went over it a day before I did and they still didn't fix it. Long story short, I send in the damage claim and receive a note back saying there was not ample time given to the town to fix the pothole and they town had no notice of it before I hit it and they wouldn't pay for my damages. They had no notice of it, yet the former mayor complained about it before I did to the town borough.
Where's the justice anymore? I didn't even ask for the town to fix the pothole, I just wanted them to set up cones or a sign to notify random drivers.
