If a pothole has caused damage to your vehicle, you may be eligible to make an insurance claim against the council. To do this, you will need to gather certain information and submit a claim.
Here’s a checklist of what you need to provide:
| Required Information |
|---|
| Your full name, address, and contact details |
| Precise location and date/time of the incident |
| Detailed explanation of the incident |
| Description of damage, injuries, or loss suffered |
| Any Police or Fire Service involvement (including incident numbers) |
| Witness information (with their consent) |
| Supporting evidence (e.g., photographs, estimates of repair costs) |
To report the pothole, you should contact Nottinghamshire County Council directly using their online forms here.
Make sure to document everything properly as claims are thoroughly investigated. If you need more details on making a claim, you can check the insurance claims section of the Mansfield council website.
