"They also run the risk of being held personally liable if someone were to be injured by the pothole they attempted to fix"
This makes me uncomfortable - are municipalities held accountable for injuries caused by a pothole? Are they held liable for injuries caused by a fixed pothole?
- bovermyer 9y agoThat depends on the municipality, I think.
- thelastidiot 9y agoI replied at the same time with the same concern. Shouldn't the municipalities be more concerned about injuries potholes can cause vs. the injuries one could potentially suffer from fixing them?
- uptown 9y ago"are municipalities held accountable for injuries caused by a pothole?" I know some municipalities will pay claims for tire/wheel damage caused by roads in disrepair if you file a claim with evidence. Presumably this same admission of liability could be upheld by courts if injuries had resulted from a problem like this.
