Re: Claim Against the Council
My husband claimed against Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Co. Council for damage to his motorcycle caused by a huge pothole in the road.
He took photographs of the hole, informed the local Gardai immediately after the accident, he actually fell off the bike but luckily wasn't hurt, and got a report number.
They paid the full cost of wheel replacement, but only after we threatened to take them to the Small Claims Court, we did not involve a solicitor.
If you feel your case is justified and there may be an imminent danger to other road users, inform them and make your claim.
