Should I bother pursuing the council after an accident caused by a poor road repair. Hit a ridge in the road, which bounced and jammed my chain resulting in a lot of road rash, a bad back and me being about £700 out of pocket. I'm probably partially to blame was tired and my concentration must have erred on a road I've ridden hundreds of times before, but the surface is shit. Have reported the road condition to the local council, should I bother to seek recompense or am I wasting my time?
If you can prove the road was not maintained within their repair schedule you can probably win.
I sued a council after a pothole crash and won because I had Google Street View images that showed the hole had been there for months and should've been fixed.
