FAQs
Will every pothole claim be accepted?

No. Councils may deny claims if they can show reasonable maintenance or if evidence is insufficient.

Should I claim through my insurer instead?

Sometimes. Compare excess costs and no-claims impact before choosing.

What details are essential?

Date, time, exact location, photos, and repair costs are key.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a drafting aid only.
