Hey Guys,
After years of being lucky, I bent my Fsport wheel on my GS this morning. I am in the process of filing a claim with NYC Comptrollers Office.

Has anyone actually gotten reimbursed for the incurred expenses from wheel repair cause my NYC pothole damage?


Im just wondering if this claim will just be filed away never to be heard from again.


Thanks,
Rich

 

sounds like wishful thinking to me but good luck with it...

 

Sorry to hear about your wheels. Winter is long gone and I can't believe there is so many potholes around the place.

Good luck w/ your reimbursement claim.

So, as of right now... No one has gotten a reimbursement payment.

 

you will never get a reimbursement payment. it is far too easy to lie and say that they are responsible, there would be tons of people doing this to get reimbursement for accidents that were not in the states responsibility

 

i tried fighting for over a year, i gave up. new york and the new york city is the dirtiest city/state i have ever lived in with the most ineffective government system despite the huge taxes i've ever lived in - compared to texas, chicago, and florida. i am defiantly moving in a few years.

 

IIRC, you need a police report or else they won't even consider reimbursing you.

I am not 100% sure though, GL.

 

it takes a lot of effort and you certainly need pics to support your claims (ie pics of the pothole)

 

Ive filed a claim back in The 1st week of april for them towing my car improperly and messing up my rear Differential ( This Car was an AWD) and am still in the process of disputing the case, They have sent a couple letters back to say they are investigating but i really wonder how that will go.

Comptrollers office is 212-669-3287
Person to speak to - Thomas Orawiec
Time in office - 10am, or 3pm. Its usualy when he picks up the phone
I suggest you bother the **** Out of him, I call him every week to get updates on my report since you know how lazy government officials in NYC are.

Hope this helped. Good luck

 

Currently in the same situation. The only difference is that my wheel + tire damage was due to poorly secured debris from the construction that landed on the highway.

I don't have a police report or anything... But for the OP if you get this, did you ever get reimbursed? I remember about 4 years ago, I blew out my front tire from a huge pot hole.. I sent in visual evidence and everything, yet my claim was denied. I really doubt I'll get anything this time, but it doesn't hurt to try.

 

Here you go, again.

 

You guys should do like I do and have some sort of dashcam. I use my GoPro. After several cars ran stop signs, cut me off, etc... EVEN including police officers, I use it now virtually everytime I drive. You can always say anything, it can be the truth or bunch of lies. But videos do not lie.

And the state do not reimburse anything to anyone. You can probably win a lawsuit if you hit a pothole that caused you your life and/ or someone elses after they investigated that it WAS A POTHOLE or whatever. Other than that, they'll leave it for a while before repairing it [just enough so it opens up again].

 

I just gave up on this city and its convoluted process

 

Any insight would be appreciated: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nel...c-pothole.html

Save yourself the headache and invest in tire and rim warranty.
