The Public Accounts and Estimates Committee was told 196 Victorians have made claims for damage arising from the roads so far this year but just one of those was successful.
It comes as Department of Transport and Planning figures provided to the committee show how dramatically the Allan Labor Government has failed to meet its own road maintenance targets.
The Department itself identified road maintenance as one of its failures in 2024/25, with just 500,000 square metres of road patching achieved in regional Victoria against a target of over 1 million.
That target has been revised down again this year to just 70,000 square metres.
Shadow Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Danny O'Brien, said Labor can't manage money, can't manage roads and it's Victorians paying the price.
"Our roads are going backwards at a rate of knots and Victorians are suffering damage with no compensation at a time of a cost-of-living crisis.
"Recently we saw several dozen motorists suffer tyre and wheel damage from a massive pothole on the Princes Highway at Nar Nar Goon and the odds are none of them will receive any recompense from the government.
"It was extraordinary to hear Department Secretary Jeroen Weimar say he was proud of his Department's performance on roads when every Victorian motorist can see how badly they are being maintained.
"The Committee also heard the government patched 200,000 potholes over the financial year - that's nearly one for every hundred metres of state government road in the state and that figure has not improved in the past three years.
"Pothole patching is not a measure of success it's a measure of how badly the government has failed on preventative maintenance of our roads."
