When the Streets Attack

Local cyclist Dustin recently spent an afternoon in the ER after falling victim to a bad drainage grate on Broadway Boulevard at Truman Road. The grate at fault used to have crossbars, and Dustin notes another grate nearby that is starting to fail. He has reported the hazard to the city's Action Center, but be careful on Broadway for now.

KCMO and MoDOT will reimburse a motorist if they can prove that their car was damaged by a pothole. I wonder if a cyclist could file a similar claim for bike damage and/or medical bills incurred by a road hazard?
