The pothole was not clearly marked, barricaded, or visible prior to impact. The incident occurred near 44.99702° N, 93.10595° W. As a direct result of this roadway defect, my front passenger-side wheel rim was severely bent, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive and unable to hold air. The damage was significant enough that the wheel was not repairable and required full replacement. Additionally, the force of the impact caused substantial damage to both rear shocks, which were compromised and also required replacement. All necessary repairs have since been completed, and the associated costs have been paid in full. This damage occurred due to the hazardous condition of the roadway and the lack of adequate warning or maintenance, resulting in unexpected and unavoidable vehicle damage for which reimbursement is being requested. Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages? The City of Saint Paul is responsible for maintaining its roadways in a reasonably safe condition for public travel. The pothole that caused this damage constituted a hazardous street defect on a City-maintained roadway. The City either knew, or should have known, of this condition through routine inspections and/or prior reports, yet failed to repair the defect or provide adequate warning within a reasonable time. This failure directly and proximately caused damage to my vehicle. Please check the reason that most closely describes the reason for your submitting a claim.
