Has your car been damaged by a pothole? Potholes in the road surface can cause damage to tyres, wheels and suspension. They are created when water seeps into cracks in the road surface and freezing weather conditions cause this water to turn to ice. The expansion that takes place when this happens breaks up the road structure. A car warranty will not cover pothole damage so it pays to drive carefully in the winter months even on familar roads because they can pretty much appear overnight and rapidly deteriorate. If you have suffered all may not be lost because you may be able to claim your costs from the local authority by following this step-by-step guide to claiming for pothole damage.
