Since there are more potholes on our roads almost every second, there is a high risk that a pothole will damage your car. If this happens to you, you should still at the scene of the accident note a few things. In general, if the damage is significant and the car is no longer driving, it makes sense to call the police so that they can officially record the damage. They also take photos of the vehicle damage, pothole, and on-site signage. However, you should also take these photos. Documenting the signage (or lack thereof) is important as this is needed as evidence that adequate pothole notice has not been given. The cities and municipalities are obliged to point out road damage. Testimonies from passers-by are also helpful. If necessary, the police will also include this in the report.
Who is going to pay for my damage to the car now?
Generally takes over Comprehensive insurance the damage to the car caused by a pothole. However, the case should be clarified in more detail, whether the municipalities might have to take over the damage. Now here is the evidence important. Since this often happens, there are already some court decisions. First it is important whether the road damage were adequately signposted. In 2006, a district court ruled in favor of a female driver. In this case, the driver could insufficient signage of road damage. In other cases, the lawsuit was again dismissed. In these cases there was enough signage and the notice "Such damage can be avoided if the road conditions are generally poor, there are enough signs and a reasonable driving style". In order to avoid such damage and the trouble around it, it applies in general to drive carefully! According to the road traffic regulations, everyone must monitor their driving behavior weather and road conditions adjust accordingly. Pothole damage to cars is also less common than other accidents because a car can withstand a lot. Damage caused by collisions with other cars due to black ice is much more common. The fully comprehensive insurance also covers this damage to your own car and the integrated motor vehicle liability insurance covers third-party damage. In general, fully comprehensive insurance makes sense for vehicles up to about 5 years old, as does legal protection insurance if you want or have to go to court.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
