I wanna claim compensation from council?

Hi, Not sure if i'm posting this in the right section. My partner was involved in a road accident last week. He thought he was continuing on a straight road and as there was no road markings, due to the road being resurfaced, at the junction he kept going unaware that it was a crossroads and another car was coming from the left. The police were called as my partner would not admit liability due to the fact that there were no markings telling him to stop! The police have cautioned my partner with driving without due care and attention and as we are only third party we are having to pay for the damage to our car. Two days later the council have repainted the markings. My question is, can I claim from the council for damage to my car and injury. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

no signage whatsoever, we took photos the same day, also the other driver was on a 20mph limit road and was clearly exceeding this however the police say they cant prove it!
