Potholes Stink; Can Your CT Car Insurance Help?

I have seen workers out in full force repairing roads, but that doesn’t mean potholes aren’t still lurking around every bend and turn. With the amount of snow we received this winter, and rain so far this spring, it’s no surprise that we have seen more potholes than normal and a need to emphasize the importance of pothole safety.

You may not always be able to avoid them, but try not to be turning while hitting one; that could screw up your car’s suspension, wheels, or tires. If your car sways or bottoms out at some point after hitting a pothole, it is time to see a mechanic.

Pothole damage can SOMETIMES be covered under your Connecticut auto insurance. But, you must check with your Encharter Insurance agent to look at the conditions of the coverage to make sure you’re protected. Be sure to be safe and try your best not to veer to avoid potholes and run the risk of hitting another car. Causing an accident will affect more of your Connecticut car insurance.

Moreover, you can report any potholes you come across in Connecticut at the Connecticut DOT website. Repaired potholes can have everyone save a bit more on their Connecticut insurance and have a smoother and safer ride to work.
