Crappy Weekend!!

Everything was going great, dropped the GF home after a day at the beach etc then went on 401 to go home and Bang 2 busted rims due to stupid construction. Will post pics later, any of you have this sort of experience let me know what I should do.

Thanks

aww man that sucks Eric . If the construction or this bad area was not identified I would think you could claim for damages with Toronto roads dep't (?) or whoever is responsible for the upkeep. It's worth trying.

Driving the 401 is a PITA!!!! The roads suck and there is always road construction going on.

Sorry I couldn't pull over in time to help you out Eric.

I agree with Wayne and ninog35...give the city a phone call and tell them your predicament.

+1

Around here I've never heard of anyone with a reasonable claim being denied compensation from our city.

sorry to hear bro. Definitely call the city and file a claim. what sort of damages did your wheels suffer? FYI, I've seen a few threads on different boards that Sevas are splitting up right where the face meets the barrel. If that's the case you should call your vendor for a replacement. I hope things get better soon.

Depending on how bad the wheels are damaged and the how great the impact was, you might just want to check your suspension too in case nothing else was damaged.

If it was on the 401 you'd have to go after the provincial government. I don't know what sort of policy they would have on that.
