Winter weather conditions do more than just ice up the roadways – they can erode the streets and lead to potholes. These gaping holes in the pavement can cause serious accidents for car owners who are already trying to avoid the other dangers of winter driving.

 

Let’s say that you’ve been in a car accident in Pennsylvania caused by a pothole. Who’s responsible for the damages to your vehicle and any injuries you may have suffered?

 

The answer depends on the type of road where you crashed. You can’t recover property damages on PA state roads, but you may be able to receive compensation from PennDOT for your injuries. For roads in local municipalities, you may be able to collect both property damages and compensation for personal injuries from local governments.

 

To find out more about pothole accidents in Pennsylvania, check out my hazardous roads pothole Q&A on my law firm’s website. Not only will you find more information about car accidents caused by bad roads – you’ll also find the phone number to report a pothole in Pennsylvania and potentially prevent a dangerous car crash.
