“I was traveling on elkridge landing road and merged right onto the ramp that merges to west nursery road. The ramp has a pot hole which based on its placement is extremely difficult to completely miss, I ran over it with my front driver side wheel. The impact immediately flattened my tire. I was forced to get the car towed to the closest shop and I had to pay for a new wheel as well as the diagnostics to ensure its completion. I have a bill in hand for $296.26 which I feel strongly that I should be compensated for as the payment was 100% the result of the condition of the road. …”
