Sorry to hear about your incident and everyone at potholes.co.uk wishes you a speedy recovery. Firstly, you need to report the pothole so that no-one gets injured.

Secondly, have a look at our step by step guide for advice on the initial information gathering. If you do wish to claim for injury, you will need legal advice. We do not recommend claiming by yourself for injuries.

Best wishes
