Potholes can be very inconvenient and even result in damage to our vehicles, but when driving through or around them results in a traffic accident, especially one involving a pedestrian, that driver must be held accountable for the damages, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
In some extreme cases, the poor condition and maintenance of a road may contribute to an accident to an extent that the entities responsible for maintaining the road may share some liability for the accident. In most cases, however, the driver retains the majority of the liability regardless of whether a pothole was a contributing factor in the accident.
Pedestrians must always remember that they, too, have a legal responsibility to exercise caution when crossing roadways and avoiding entering traffic without warning, as not every accident is automatically the fault of the driver.
