Walk It Through: The Pothole on the State Road

A cracked rim on a state highway, ninety days for notice, two years to sue, and the Claims Commissioner.

A driver hits a deep pothole on a state highway and cracks a rim and a wrist.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A claim against the state itself. A town road, a city sidewalk and a claim against a state employee personally are left to the page and its sources.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
