I have photos and there are no markings. I don't know which council has it - either Ealing or Hammersmith though I think. Oh actually it was in front of a bus stop so it's possibly TFL?
What's considered damage? Just damage to the bike? How do I cost up a broken collarbone? Lost gym membership, time off bike, time off work, taxis and public transport costs etc? Exposure to radiation, stress, um.. :)

If you were to make a common law claim, the two broad categories are General Damages, described as 'Pain, Suffering and Loss of Amenity', and Special Damages, which would cover loss of earnings, other financial loss, equipment, rehabilitation costs such as private treatment etc.

It's in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, who are also the highway authority here (and therefore responsible for maintenance).

Sorry to join a little late but first thing is to take photos of the hole and of any damage sustained to you or yoyr bike. Note any medical issues.
Then find out exactly whom owns/maintains the particular stretch of Rd that your accident took place on (TfL or council?).
As I understand, if there are spray paint markings it means they have acknowledged the damage and are underway with its repair. This means you're very unlikely to get anything from them. If it is not marked, they do not know and will pay out for any damage.
Good luck
