      2. Respondent is responsible for the maintenance of County Route 43 which it failed to maintain properly on the date of this incident.
      3. As a result, Claimant’s vehicle sustained body damage to the passenger side of the vehicle in the amount of $2,469.41. Claimant had liability insurance only.
      4. Respondent agrees that the amount of $2,469.41 for the damages put forth by the Claimant is fair and reasonable.
