I drove my car through a pothole in the street and sustained damage to my car. I feel the City was negligent. Will the City pay for this?
It depends. By law the City is often not liable for negligence. In most cases involving streets or sidewalks the City is only liable if a claimant can show that there is liability under the Government Code. If you feel the City has violated a law, you may file a claim against the City of Santa Rosa. The claim form may be obtained by calling 707-543-3024.
