If your vehicle is damaged by a pothole in the UK, you may be able to claim compensation from your local council or National Highways. Success depends on evidence, timing, and whether the road authority can prove it inspected the road recently. Claims often require photos, repair invoices, and persistence, and many are rejected, but preparation improves your chances.

Pothole damage claims across the UK have surged as road conditions deteriorate, with more than 53,000 claims made in the past year alone.
