Summer potholes!

by ripper

15 Apr 2010

My claim has been going on since 29th July last year.
Has been turned down twice.
Your advice please - my case hangs on the following:
The highway authority was negligent because the inspector incorrectly classifed the defect as a category 3 (repair within 4 weeks) rather than a category 1(24hours) or 2 (5 days)

The damage to my car was sustained 5 days after the defect report & inspection.
It is my contention that due a number of factors the defect should have had a higher priority.
What are my chances, thinking of taking this to court.
