Potholes are a blight on road users and pedestrians alike. Not only can they damage our property, they can cause serious injuries in the form of trip and fall accidents. Most councils have their own criteria for assessing the need to fill potholes. However, budget constraints can play a hand in the maintenance of them. If a council has overlooked a significant pothole that has caused you injury, you may be entitled to claim personal injury compensation from them — if they are liable for the accident.

Pothole claims all time high

Posted in: Pothole InjuriesRoad Traffic Accidents

New figures have revealed that the number of claims for injuries related to potholes has risen by 750% in the worst hit areas.  This is most likely due to having just endured the wettest winter in England and Wales since 1766, with winter flooding causing significant road damage.  The AA said that despite the Government’s emergency help, totalling £383million, this is just a “drop in the ocean” compared to what is needed to help the problem.  Campaigners argued that pothole damage has already cost drivers £730million, with a firm belief…

£70,000 compensation after pothole crash

Posted in: Arm InjuryBicycle AccidentsHead and Brain InjuriesPothole InjuriesRoad Traffic Accidents

A cyclist has been awarded £70,000 in compensation after a pothole threw him off his bike in 2009.  Alan Curtis from Bushey in Hertfordshire suffered a “severe head injury” in the crash on The Drive in Rickmansworth.  The 57-year-old sued Hertfordshire County Council for failing to fill-in the pothole, which he described as being a “real source of danger” to road users.  The council said that they were “disappointed” in the High Court for ruling in Mr Curtis’s favour. The charity fundraiser had been cycling with his two best friends…

I can’t rate this company highly enough. I was very sceptical at first as I had not had any dealings with this sort of thing but believe you me, they were very good to me right from the start. There is no pushing you to do anything you don’t want to do, they are always simply sympathetic with your plight. I didn’t think I’d stood a chance but they came through for me for which I am very grateful. Believe you me they are first class.

I was undecided whether I wanted to make a claim because of the hassle involved, which I could well do without, mainly because of the ongoing problems after my injury. After contacting, it became clear that it is a very professional company & the inquiry was dealt with promptly & professionally with a pleasant manner. I got a decision on whether I had a claim very quickly without too much hassle.
