Default Broke 3 rims due to vdot construction...can i get compensated?

I was driving on the FFX parkway the other night and broke 3 of my wheels at night. All they had was a sign saying bump, but this was a bit bump. I was driving below the speed limit and i broke 3 of my wheels. Does anyone know how I can contact vdot and get them to pay for the wheels?

it happened to a friend of mine on 295. she hit a pot hole, bent a wheel, Called Vdot. They checked the to see if there really was a hole. All she did was show a recepit for how much the rim costs and she got a check in the mail. It did take her forever to get the check but they did pay for it

For something like this, a mere e-mail isn't going to do it. You're gonna have to make some calls, and probably many of them to get to the right person to get the right form in order to get a check.
