Anyone claimed against Pothole damage?

The law is something like council is required to have an effective inspection and maintenance schedule. The council will have a policy setting out how frequently they inspect each category of roads.

They will only pay out if the inspections weren't carried out when they should have been or issues were identified/reported and not rectified.

If the road is inspected every 2 years and they inspected it a year ago and a pothole has since appeared which no one had reported, they will say they've fulfilled the legal obligation.
 
I did a claim once. Took over 6 months to get settled. Took photos and tape measurements in photos for claim. Got there eventually.
