I hit a pot hole on my cycle two years ago. I badly hurt my head and face. I have photographs. When I contacted the Council they said it was not their fault, they claimed that they had maintained the road sufficiently, but I know about public liability now, there only needs to be a defect of 1 inch and the pot hole was like 3" inches deep and about a foot wide across as can be seen on the pictures and I know its still there so I'm suing the local council for negligence.
I was not wearing any protective gear so I really banged my head and had a concussion and had painful cuts and bruises on my face which have scarred and are disfiguring, I also fell on my shoulder and was out of work for a while so I would also like to claim back lost earnings in my compensation?
If I could get some free legal advice about bicycle accidents in public I could take the next step to making a claim with legal expert?
PS If I enter into no win no fee agreement will l be liable for costs if don't win?
