Well councils have a get out clause, the pothole has to of been reported to them before in order for you to claim damage.

annoyingly putting part of the post in the title?

If the council are not aware of a defect in the road then they tend to be covered under Section 41 of the Highways act, providing they can show that they have a inspection routine and repair process in place.

So you would have to how that they were aware of the problems even then they have a reasonable time (wonderful word reasonable) to fix it.

If the damage to your car is minor it is unlikely you will get anybody to take on your case using a conditional fee agreement and you might be better going through the small claims process.

If you have have a personal injury claim then you have a better chance of finding someone however do remember that if you lose there is a chance you will have to pay the other sides cost although you might be able to get insurance to cover this.

The obvious answer to the question I think your asking is to phone up a couple of solicitors who offer a no win no fee arrangement and ask.

A few hundred pounds? Why can't you be any more precise? Are you making it up as you go along?

Anyway, the answer to your question - NO. You won't get a conditional fee agreement for a claim that small as if it went to court it would be dealt with in the small claims track where there are no cost awards.
