Montana Motorists File Pothole Damage Claims

Four motorists who say potholes in Bozeman, Montana damaged their vehicles have filed claims against the city this year.

The Montana Municipal Interlocal Authority is the city’s insurance company. The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports that the company has denied two of the claims and is considering the other two. Of the denied claims, the company says the damage was caused by factors outside the city’s control.

Charles French still has an active claim. He says a deep pothole broke the rear axle of his 1993 Chevrolet Suburban.
