Mayor Jean Stothert said during a press conference Monday that the City of Omaha will pay for claims related to pothole damage on cars that were filed with the city between Jan. 1 and March 18.

Previously denied claims and those received but still pending will be paid using the following criteria, according to a press release:

-Potholes that caused the damage must have been reported to the city (reports made through social media are not applicable)
-The location must be within city limits on public streets maintained by the City of Omaha (not including any interstate within or surrounding Omaha)
-Original claim must have provided documentation of personal expense including repair bill and tow truck invoice (if applicable)
-If claimant has also been reimbursed by their insurance company, documentation must be provided and the city will pay the deductible, instead of total cost of repairs
