Vehicle damage from Potholes on State-Owned Roads
As reported by WPDE ABC News 15, the State of South Carolina may reimburse you for damage to your vehicle caused by potholes. You must be registered as the owner of the vehicle and provide a copy of your registration to the State to get reimbursed. Learn more about filing Damage Claims on the SCDOT website. According to WPDE, follow these steps to seek reimbursement:
- When safe, pull your vehicle over and photograph the pothole, the damage to your vehicle, and nearby any road signs or landmarks. More documentation of the location and situation is better.
- Get two estimates and receipts of the repair work needed or done.
- Submit a claim to the State of South Carolina for reimbursement.
