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
