How to Check for Damage and Handle the Repair Bill"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<div class=\"bpsc-article\"><p class=\"bpsc-lede\">Every spring, roads that looked fine in November start to break apart. You hear the thud before you see the hole, your coffee jumps in the cup holder, and for the next few miles you listen closely for any new sound. Here is what that jolt can do to a car, what to do right after, and how insurance usually fits in.<\/p><div class=\"bpsc-takeaways\"><p class=\"bpsc-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/p><ul><li>Potholes can bend rims, puncture tires, knock wheels out of alignment and damage suspension parts.<\/li><li>Some damage shows up right away; some, like uneven tire wear, builds over weeks.<\/li><li>Pothole damage is generally handled under collision coverage, subject to your deductible.<\/li><li>Report the pothole to whoever maintains the road. Some agencies accept damage claims.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h2>How Potholes Form in the First Place<\/h2><p>Pavement looks solid, but it is full of tiny cracks. Water works its way in, freezes and expands, then melts and leaves a void. Traffic pounds on the weakened spot until the surface caves. That is why late winter and early spring, when temperatures swing above and below freezing, are peak pothole season in colder parts of the country.<\/p><p>A pothole&#8217;s danger depends on more than size. Speed, the angle of impact, tire pressure and the condition of your suspension all affect how hard the hit lands. A shallow hole taken fast can do more harm than a deep one taken slowly.<\/p><h2>What a Hard Hit Can Damage<\/h2><div class=\"bpsc-compare\"><div class=\"bpsc-compare__col\"><h4>Often noticeable right away<\/h4><ul><li>Flat or bulging tire<\/li><li>Bent or cracked rim<\/li><li>Scraped or loosened exhaust<\/li><li>Fluid dripping from underneath<\/li><li>Warning lights on the dash<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"bpsc-compare__col\"><h4>Can develop over time<\/h4><ul><li>Misalignment and uneven tire wear<\/li><li>Worn shocks, struts or ball joints<\/li><li>Wheel bearing damage<\/li><li>Gradual loss of tire pressure<\/li><li>New clunks over bumps<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h2>Right After the Impact<\/h2><ol class=\"bpsc-steps\"><li><strong>Stay in control first.<\/strong> Keep both hands on the wheel and do not overcorrect. Inspection can wait until you can stop safely.<\/li><li><strong>Pull over only where it is safe.<\/strong> On a busy highway, it may be smarter to drive carefully to the next exit or a parking lot.<\/li><li><strong>Look at the tires and wheels.<\/strong> Check for bulges in the sidewall, dents in the rim and any obvious deflation. Glance underneath for drips.<\/li><li><strong>Pay attention as you drive.<\/strong> Pulling to one side, a vibrating steering wheel, rattling, or a tire pressure warning are all reasons to see a mechanic soon.<\/li><li><strong>Document it.<\/strong> If you can do so safely, photograph the pothole, note the nearest address or cross street, and keep repair receipts.<\/li><li><strong>Call for help if the car cannot be driven.<\/strong> If you carry roadside assistance through your policy or another program, it can typically arrange a tow or tire change.<\/li><\/ol><div class=\"bpsc-callout bpsc-callout--tip\"><p class=\"bpsc-callout__label\">Pro Tip<\/p><p>Even if the car seems fine, an alignment check after a hard hit is inexpensive compared with replacing a set of tires that wore unevenly for months.<\/p><\/div><h2>Reporting the Pothole<\/h2><p>Roads are maintained by different levels of government, and the right contact depends on who owns the stretch where you hit it: a city, county or state transportation department. Many have online forms or phone lines for reporting potholes. Your report helps get it fixed before someone else hits it.<\/p><p>Some jurisdictions also accept claims for vehicle damage. Rules differ widely. There may be short deadlines, requirements to prove the agency knew about the hole, or caps on what they will pay. Your photos, location notes and receipts will matter if you go this route.<\/p><h2>Does Insurance Pay for Pothole Damage?<\/h2><p>In most cases, hitting a pothole is treated as a collision with an object, so it falls under collision coverage if you carry it. Collision is optional unless a lender or lease requires it, so it is worth confirming you have it. Comprehensive coverage, which handles events like hail, theft and animal strikes, generally does not apply to pothole damage.<\/p><p>A few practical points to weigh before filing:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Your deductible comes first.<\/strong> A bent rim or single tire may cost less than your deductible, which would leave nothing for the insurer to pay.<\/li><li><strong>It is usually a single-vehicle claim.<\/strong> Whether it counts against you or affects your premium depends on your insurer&#8217;s guidelines and your claims history.<\/li><li><strong>Payouts have limits.<\/strong> Collision typically pays up to the vehicle&#8217;s actual cash value, minus your deductible.<\/li><li><strong>Tires alone may be treated differently.<\/strong> Some policies limit coverage for tire damage that is not accompanied by other damage. Check your policy wording.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"bpsc-callout bpsc-callout--note\"><p class=\"bpsc-callout__label\">Insurance Angle<\/p><p>If you are not sure whether a claim makes sense, get a repair estimate first and then talk with your agent about the trade-offs before you decide.<\/p><\/div><h2>Smart Habits for Pothole Season<\/h2><ul class=\"bpsc-checklist\"><li>Leave extra following distance so you can see the road surface ahead.<\/li><li>Slow down at night and in rain, when holes are harder to spot.<\/li><li>Treat puddles with suspicion. They can hide deep holes.<\/li><li>If a hit is unavoidable, straighten the wheels and ease off the brake just before impact.<\/li><li>Never swerve into another lane or oncoming traffic to dodge a pothole.<\/li><li>Keep tires properly inflated and the suspension in good shape so the car absorbs impacts better.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"bpsc-faq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><details><summary>Will one pothole claim raise my rate?<\/summary><p>It depends on your insurer and your history. Some treat it like any at-fault single-vehicle claim; others weigh it differently.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Can I get the city to pay for my repairs?<\/summary><p>Sometimes. Many local and state agencies have a claims process, but eligibility rules and deadlines vary, and some limit payment or deny claims if the hole had not been reported.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How do I know if my alignment is off?<\/summary><p>Common signs include the car pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, and tires wearing faster on one edge.<\/p><\/details><\/div><div class=\"bpsc-cta\"><p class=\"bpsc-cta__title\">Bumpy Roads Ahead?<\/p><p>Not sure if you have collision coverage or roadside help on your policy?
