Vehicle damage by Pothole

    While the law is long settled on misfeasance/nonfeasance, there is a view that doctrine is outdated and should be challenged as has happened in England in recent years. It doesn't exist any more there and neither the State nor its emanations can evade liability for nonfeasance.

    I would not like to guess when it might be abolished here but you would think the day will have to come.

    Given the litigation prone society we have evolved into, and the Nr of pothole's in existence, can you just imagine the hiatus this would throw the court's into ???:D

    Happened my wife about 6 months ago, blew out the side of front left tyre. She sent council letter with evidence, details of where and when and the receipt for the €260 it cost for the tyre. She has been passed from pillar to post with long delays every time and still no joy.

    I have damage to the tune of 1500 euros to my car. I am not in a position right now to pay that much to get it fixed properly.
    That’s what your insurance policy is for. You can claim and they’ll cover it, if you repay them within a certain period they’ll remove the claim from your policy.
