If you haven’t heard of Mr Pothole yet, where have you been?
At Howard and Over, pothole injuries aren’t just another case, they’re personal. That’s because our very own personal injury solicitor, Tim Quinn, is better known as Mr Pothole. Why? Because nobody fights harder for people injured by dangerous potholes on our roads.
Tim has built a reputation for standing up to highway authorities and holding them accountable when they fail to keep roads and pavements safe. Whether you tripped on a pothole, came off your bike, or crashed your car and got injured because of road damage, Mr Pothole knows exactly how to take on your claim – and win!
Why call on Mr Pothole?
Because potholes don’t just wreck roads, they wreck lives. Some common pothole accidents we’ve helped clients with include:
- Trips and falls on pothole-ridden pavements.
- Car crash injuries caused by deep potholes.
- Cyclists or motorcyclists thrown off balance by potholes.
- Pedestrians injured after stepping into hidden potholes.
- Cyclists swerving to avoid potholes and colliding with vehicles or obstacles.
Every highway authority has a legal duty to keep roads and pavements safe. As a rule of thumb, a pothole is considered unsafe if it’s at least 40mm deep on the road or 25mm (about 1 inch) on the pavement.
And if you live in Devon, or let’s face it anywhere in England, you’ll know just how common these dangerous defects are. In fact, Devon is regularly highlighted as one of the counties with the highest number of potholes in the UK, with thousands reported each year. It’s no
surprise that accidents caused by poor road conditions are all too frequent, making the work of Mr Pothole more important than ever.
Top tip from Mr Pothole: Always measure and photograph the pothole! Clear evidence of its depth is crucial for your claim. If it’s shallower than the legal threshold, it may not qualify, but don’t worry, we’ll advise you on whether your case is worth pursuing.
If you are unsure whether you have a claim, visit our website to see if you meet the requirements, but act fast, as you only have 3 years from the accident to make your claim!
Suffering an injury due to someone else’s negligence can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. That’s why at Howard and Over we offer a no win, no fee agreement, so you can pursue the compensation you deserve without the added stress of upfront legal costs.
