Proof of the incident directly causing the alleged damage;
The exact location where the incident occurred and records of your repairs;
Evidence that the state was aware of the dangerous road condition prior to your incident; and
Evidence that the state could have repaired the dangerous road condition prior to your incident and neglected to do so.
