A Wisconsin man who was blinded in one eye after a chunk of concrete flew through his windshield last spring isnt finding many avenues for recourse. Thats because of the states "pothole-liability law," which took effect two weeks earlier. The law makes it harder for drivers to sue local governments for most damages or injuries resulting from highway defects, according to a Capital Times report. If Kevin Droz, 51, had been injured before the law went into effect he could have filed a claim for up to $50,000. But the accident happened 13 days afterward, leaving him with substantially fewer options.
