Pot Hole Complaint Form?

YoungGuna86 · 03-17-2010, 07:49 AM

Posted last night about the pothole that took down my tire last night

A friend reccomended this website which has a form to send in, claiming against city for damages...

http://www.comptroller.nyc.gov/burea...mage_claim.pdf
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/pothole.shtml

Has anyone ever used this form? get Paid?

Thanks

you said you hit the pothole on the LIE... if you were in nassau county, the NYC form wouldn't apply.

also, the pothole has to have been documented.... they pay out on about 10% of claims.

one of the clauses they use to get out of paying is that unless they were notified about it, they arent liable for damage. so if no one called 311 for that pothole, you may be SOL.

Reminds me of my previous biz idea, people would txt/call/visit online and notify of pothole, but submit $1 or so micropayents, and as soon as enough people claim it and donate, a private company comes out there and fixes it.

People take too long to fix shit, so we gotta take it into our own hands.

Some things wrong with the idea:

- Not sure we can actually do it without approval, being fined would be costly without it
- Politics
-People already pay taxes

In a true utopia we wouldn't have pot holes.

Is this type of damage something my regular insurance company would cover? i pay them so much why pay 1000 bux out of pcoket if i dont have to...only concern is whenever you make claims they usually try and rasie your premium

any thoughts?
