    Potholed? How to make a claim

    • Remember, Highway Authorities have a statutory defence as they cannot be held liable for defects they do not know about and have not picked up in regular checks – they are supposed to keep inspection records. A Highways Authority may be liable if they have not acted after receiving a defect report
    • If you suffer vehicle or other damage due to a pothole make sure the authorities are notified straight away if the defect is serious. Take a note of key details e.g. place, location of defect, its size shape and depth – ideally take photographs. Get 'witness' details
    • Report the defect as soon as possible. Many councils have websites and special phone lines to help with this
    • Get quotes for repair or get repairs done – keep quotes, bills and receipts
    • Write to the highway authority responsible for that stretch of road with all the details
    • If your claim is rejected and you feel this is unfair ask to see road inspection reports, and try again to claim. If the damage is very expensive, seek legal advice
    • Most claims may be below a level worth making an insurance claim
