My daughter was driving down a country lane last saturday night, she hit a large pothole which caused her to loose control and hit the hedge. Taken car (ford KA) to garage and have been told that hitting the pothole has bent the front wheel strut, and caused other bits of damage underneath, due to age of car (2002) have been told it's not worth repairing. She only passed her test 6 months ago and so only has 3rd party insurance, so cannot claim on that. My question is does she have any claim against our local council due to the state of the lane and the pot holes?? Thanks
