Support with domestic abuse
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, help is available. Major sporting events can be a difficult time for some people. If you are worried about your own safety, or that of someone you know, confidential support and advice are available on our domestic abuse page.
If a defect contributes to an accident and we have failed to properly inspect and repair the highway, you may be able to claim reimbursement of your losses. If an incident occurred as a result of works carried out by a utility company or others, your claim may be against them.
By law, you will need to prove that:
- The highway in question was not maintained appropriately and was dangerous, and
- This was the direct cause of the accident
In defence of any claim, we will need to demonstrate that all reasonable steps were taken to ensure the highway was safe, in accordance with our highway maintenance plan.
