Re: pothole on freeway damages car
In my personal opinion, making a successful claim against CalTrans is not practical and probably not possible. If you are paying for insurance that covers this sort of thing, you should make a claim. Otherwise, why pay for it? If they raise your rates excessively, cancel it and get other insurance. What's the point in paying for insurance if you aren't ever going to use it?
