  • Council insurance claim.

    I was in Anglesey for a long weekend this weekend.

    I was on my back to where we was staying just as it was getting dark and hit a large pot hole/ eroded road whilst driving.

    Upon arriving at our accommodation I noticed I had taken 2 chunks from 2 tyres and also scuffed the alloys on each wheel. (The car is only 1 month old)

    the following we packed up to leave and 15 mins into the journey noticed the back passenger tyre was flat.

    I had to wait 2 hours for a recovery truck to arrive then I was taken to a tyre shop. The technician recommended both front passenger and rear be replaced because of the damage.

    Im going to submit a claim to Anglesey county councils.

    I have there generic form to fill out and send, I have also taken photos of the damage and the pot hole and have the receipt for the wheels. I also asked the technician who replaced the wheel to sent a letter to say the damage was consistent with hitting a pot hole.

    does anybody have any advice please?

      The pothole appears to be the not on the road but the verge like most rural roads with no kerb

          Sounds like you are on top of things - although I'm not sure it would be classed as a pot hole either as it's the edge of the road disintegrating - is the road owned by the council ?

            Amethyst I wasn’t sure what to call it. Yes it’s a council owned road. I’m also submitting a FOI asking for road reports etc

              Good idea. If they show they were aware of the issue before you damaged your vehicle on it, it will help your case.

                      That is a standard response, and if the council are complying with their statutory duties you will not succeed with a claim
