Caught and Injured Your Foot on a Pothole? Injury Lawyers Advice

Around the colder months of the year we see an increase in people making injury claims involving potholes.

Freezing conditions allow the cracks on the ground to expand and grow into what we know as a pothole.

So what happens if you’re walking along and you catch your foot on a pothole? Whether you fall or not, if you are injured due to stumbling or hitting the ground, or perhaps through twisting a part of your body, here is what you need to know about claiming for pothole compensation.

Fall on a Sunken Grate, Drain or Manhole – Accident Claims Advice

The streets can be littered with dangers that we will normally know nothing about until we are the unfortunate victim of a trip or a fall because of one. We take on loads of cases for pothole trippers and general street defect claims, and one common scenario is a trip or a fall caused by a sunken grate, drain, or manhole cover.

Over time, the ground surrounding a grate, drain, or manhole can become weak and sink inwards, creating a dangerous divot or dip in the ground. People don’t tend to look at their feet when walking, so they’re not easy to spot. In Autumn, they could be covered by leaves or in Winter covered by snow or rain; making the danger virtually impossible to notice.

Why choose The Injury Lawyers?

If you’ve had an accident, it can be quite daunting deciding which company to use to pursue your claim. With people being bombarded with cold calls, texts, emails and most commonly, TV adverts, it’s difficult to tell which company is really the best value for money, and who is going to take the least deductions from your compensation if they win your case.

Here at The Injury Lawyers, we do things differently. We work on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning that if we didn’t win your case for you, then you wouldn’t have to pay us a penny. And even if we did win it for you, we can claim the costs from the other side so for most types of claims you still wouldn’t owe us anything.

Why do I need to be medically examined for an injury claim?

It’s very common for people to see a medical expert as part of their claim for personal injury compensation, and this is usually arranged by your lawyer. But why?

The expert you see will produce a report for your lawyer which they will then use to:

• Value your claim for compensation.
• Justify any losses like lost earnings, medical expenses, or travel expenses.
• Find out if you need further investigation or treatment to assist your recovery.

This report, known as a medico-legal report, will give a solicitor the valuable information they need to determine the extent of your suffering and loss to allow them to use a combination of their own expertise and experience, together with official guidelines, to value your claim. In the absence of such a report, your solicitor can only ever give you estimates.
