The Lowdown on Tucson Pothole Reporting

Reporting a problem directly to the City of Tucson's Department of Transportation is not a convenient process. Fortunately, DoNotPay can help you report potholes and other issues around the city. DoNotPay can also help you sue the city for damages or injuries.

How to Report an Issue to the City?

If you opt to report the pothole online, go to the City's website. From there, you must click on the "Departments" tab and navigate to the Transportation Department web page.

That web page has a link that will take you to the Streets and Traffic Maintenance page. Once there, you must click on yet another link that takes you to yet another web page. Once you finally reach the Street Maintenance Improvement Request page, you must fill out the form, including:

Instead of having to solve a captcha, you'll just have to wait on hold for an indefinite amount of time.

Were You Injured as a Result of a Pothole in Tucson? Sue the City for Compensation

Hitting a pothole only damages a vehicle's suspension and shocks most of the time. Sometimes, a tire, wheel, or rim can become damaged. However, potholes have been the cause of serious injuries. For instance, if you hit a pothole while driving too fast, you can blow a tire, lose control of your vehicle, and run into a building or another vehicle.

If you have injured yourself after hitting a pothole, you can sue the city for your injuries. You can also sue the city for any damage done to your vehicle.

How Can I Gather Evidence to Prove My Damage or Injury Claim?

Whether you 're gathering evidence to prove a damage or injury claim, it will be beneficial if you take a picture of the pothole that you hit. You should also note where the pothole you hit is located.

It is also highly advisable to get a police report and gather video evidence of the incident if you can. If you don't have a dashcam, see if you can get video footage from a nearby store.

How to Gather Evidence for Damage to Your Car

If you 're suing the City of Tucson for damage to your vehicle, it will be beneficial if you take pictures of your vehicle from all sides. You should also take close-ups of any damage caused by hitting the pothole.
