Reporting Potholes in Indianapolis Quickly and Easily

Indianapolis is a big city that sees plenty of harsh weather and yearly road salting. If you know anything about asphalt, you know that means some serious potholes. When the roads are busy, it's tough for the Indianapolis DOT to stay aware and get to fixing every pothole in the city. Still, it can be done if vigilant locals report the worst potholes so the city can prioritize repairs.

How can you handle Indianapolis pothole reporting? First, you need to know what road you're on and whether it belongs to the state or the city. Only then can you tackle the reporting process with enough proof to sway city action. Or you can do it the easy way with DoNotPay.

How to Report an Issue to the City?

Determine If the Road is State or City Owned

The DOTs in our nation split responsibility by state and local municipality. Interstates, US highways, and state roads are controlled by the INDOT and they will need to receive reports for potholes there. All local roads should be reported to the city of Indianapolis. Report to the wrong office, and nothing will get done.

Report a Pothole to the City of Indianapolis

If your pothole is on a local or street road, there are three ways to report it.

Injured As a Result of a Pothole in Indianapolis? Send Demand Letters To the City for Compensation

Reporting potholes is important to keep the roads in good condition, but sometimes that pothole was more than a jostle or an inconvenience. If you were injured or in an accident as a result of a pothole in the road, you can (and should) file a claim against the city or state DOT for compensation. If your vehicle was damaged by a pothole, you can file a claim for that too.

Skip the hassle and run-around of the Indianapolis small claims court by using the DoNotPay Small Claims Court service instead. Check out how we can help you send demand letters to for compensation the easy way while focusing on what matters most: your recovery and repairs.

How Can I Gather Evidence to Prove My Damage Claim?

1. Medical records from your doctor
2. Photos of your vehicle after the damage
3. Report from your mechanic on total vehicle damage
4. Photos of the road damage
5. Photos of any others damaged by the pothole
6. Witness reports of accidents caused by the pothole
