If your vehicle is damaged from hitting a pothole, you can submit a damage claim. Damages caused by potholes are not immediately paid by the City. Each claim is evaluated according to provincial legislation to ensure the City is responsible. The City is careful and fair when following its duties under provincial legislation.
