I read several years ago about a guy in his Porsche hitting the end edge of a Cal Trans pavement grind, where it ended at a bridge. I remember the road work, and it seemed to me there was a good two inch high edge. Damage occurred to his Porsche, and he went after Cal Trans.

The highway was 280, and the damage occured near Los Altos. If I recall correctly, it was reported in the "Mr. Roadshow" section of the San Jose Mercury News. Might be good precedent case to take a look at.

I actually surprised a lawyer hasn't contacted you yet...

Good luck---my Dad has a cracked vertibrae from a tractor accident about a decade ago. Painful, indeed. Heal well.
