Potholes - Damage to my car

cjt2512

I recently went to centre Parcs, and abiding their speed limit and went down a pothole causing £250 worth of damage to my suspension, i was after some advice on where i stand on claiming for this money back from a company like centre Parcs, do i have a leg to stand on as its private land ?

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

What was the damage?

How recent is 'recently'?

As has been hinted above, you should report this kind of thing at the earliest opportunity.

What is their speed limit? I imagine it is pretty slow, so how come you didn't see this pot-hole?

Worth bearing in mind that the speed limit is exactly that, not a target

Centre Parcs T&Cs, specifically 'J2' state:

'Any reported matter which has not been resolved during your break should be advised in writing .... within 28 days of the end of your break.'

If you didn't report the matter at the time then you've got no chance.
