Holes in the Road

If the council can show that they had in place a regular system of inspection and maintenance and they didn’t know about the hole in the road then they are home and dry and you are left licking your wounds after your accident. So, take photographs   and hunt around for any witnesses. In one of my cases where the accident took place some years ago and where liability is still denied I have now found out that the council in question had inspected the road on the same day of the accident and someone else had suffered an almost identical accident in the same hole on the very same day!
