ROTFLMAO (IMG: style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif) I take it most of the folks on this forum are from the north? Here in Ohio, but raised in God's Country (Oregon).

QUOTE (catlin_cava @ Aug 28 2009, 12:12 AM)  I'm in Bathurst NB, Canada. You mean the roads are in bad shape in Northern NB? I never would have thought! Hehe (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) crappy about the rim though,but yah, it might take awhile, but you can normally get them to cover the replacement cost... happened to both of my parents and a few friends over the years... best of luck!

That sucks, I'd be quite ****.
Most cities have a municipal code or bylaw that dictates that if the pothole is so big and/or deep, that it must be repaired within a certain amount of time. Do you have any bylaws there that state that? If so, they should be liable, after the 3 weeks...
On the other hand, they may be able to argue that since it was marked with pink paint as you stated, that you should have been able to avoid it as a "usual road hazard".
I'd call them and try to have them take the claim more seriously! Good luck!

QUOTE (catlin_cava @ Sep 28 2009, 11:35 AM) The Aligment is not out, the car shakes like crazy(the damaged rim is off) and pulls hard to the right. Well if thats the case then i think you might've damaged the suspension system. Or maybe there's a bent rim that's still on the car. You should probably take it to a hunter machine and check to see if your rim/tires are out of round. And also get a new alignment afterwards.

I know 1 rim was damaged since the car went sideways after I hit the hole so the back tires never hit it, I hit it dead on the front passenger side tire. I know the aligment is out I missed spelt earlier. The cars got to go into the shop next week for an oil change again...6000KM since august 20 (IMG: style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) . QUOTE (Naky @ Sep 28 2009, 05:58 PM) Haha, small world. I grew up there. Not ashamed to say it's a hole. Probably even more of one now that the mills and the mine are closed. Yea small world lol Mills Closed, Brunswick was extended to 2011, Caribou went under again last year.

And they stated they are not liable since apropriate matters were taking to repair it.....The road was schedualled to be toren up and resurfaced 2 days after it happened. Which I think is total ****

Which I think is total **** Fight it. Scheduled to be torn up and repaired is not actually torn up and repaired. The state of the road, filled or not (and sand is a bull repair - wind can easily blow most of it out) is the responsibility of the government (municipal or federal) and that's why you pay taxes. They failed in their maintenance so badly that they allowed a hole to get so big and deep that it bent a rim and caused suspension damage. That's negligence over a long period of time. I would definitely, definitely fight it.
