Since the recent extremely cold weather our roads are full of potholes. It's been estimated that it could cost £100 million to repair our roads and in the meantime they present an increased accident risk and there is likely to be anincrease in accident claims.

Some of the most badly effected roads are reported to have craters measuring a metre wide. There have been countless accidents because of them and councils are inundated with reports and complaints about the condition of the roads.

Some local authorities have even resorted to road closures because the condition of the roads is so bad. If you've been injured in an accident caused by a pothole in the road you should seek the advice of an experienced personal injury solicitor like those at First Personal Injury.
