Claiming pot hole damage??
Anyone on here claimed off the council for pothole damage??
I hit one and its squared one of my rs7's. Ive taken pictures of the hole and my wheel. How do i go about it next. Im sick of the shit roads around here ( Hemel hempstead ). There was even an article in the local paper about it and nothings getting done about it.Definitly what to claim as my wheel is totally fooked.
Any help appreciated.

Nah , good luck to him...the council will charge us what ever they please anyhows so if they cant be arsed to look after their roads then i hope he does get some pay back. The roads round here (derby) are utter wank as well....one of the majoy roads into the city centre is more like a patch work quilt of wank pikey repairs

Already written a letter and will go tomorrow to take pics.
Also I had a mate of mine already report it so that they cannot say it hasn't been reported.

Good luck
Had it happen once started looking into it, and some of the things you have to prove are,
1 all roads in the area are rated on an importance level, each level needs a check every X weeks months etc dependant on importance. As long as it was checked within this criteria then they not liable.
2 If it has been reported by X amount of people and dependent on the priority of the road repaired within X time.
There were other get outs for em cant remember all of em
But even things like just cos it big and dangerous that means it big and you should have been able to see it and you avoid it
Hope you can get summit out of em
Some have so must be possible

i hit a pothole in hounslow
took pics
went and saw the person in charge of roads
gave me a form
filled it in
they sent out an assesor
was told that they would pay the damages once i gave them a recipt that the work had been done
bill came to £2200
they said the car was worth £1900 and gave me £1800
the damage was 2 bent rims plus cracked crossmember, engine sump, front diff sump and steering rack on the estate
so deffo worth pursuing

go thru ya insurance,
they chase up the wankers and seek full reinbirsement even tho you aint paid they have. You have the time/money/resources to claim.
