Poor road surfaces are constantly becoming a major cause of accident for car insurance customers. The director of one of UK’s leading trade association said that inferior quality of road surfaces have been leading to increased number of accidents on such roads. Because of such accidents, many car insurance customers find their cars badly damaged and in need of a claim.
The trade association for vehicle building and SMART repair has advised the motorists to drive carefully with precautions on such roads but the association accepts that damage to the vehicle is inevitable. Car owners try to do their best to avoid any damage to their vehicles by avoiding the surfaces of roads that are badly broken or have potholes. Efforts of the vehicle owners do not protect the car from any possible damage instead motor owners, at times, drive erratically on poor road surfaces to skip over the potholes and other road damages but end up damaging the vehicle or lead to accidents.
The director of the trade association said that it would be advisable to take a photograph and measure the road surface that damaged your vehicle. Report the damage as soon as possible to your insurance company. This could serve as good evidence if you are looking forward to incur your financial losses from the State Highway Authority for the poor quality of roads. The evidence can serve well for your car insurance company can also give you some kind of financial settlement.
Poor road surfaces can fail the tyres of the vehicle; damage the wheel rims and exhausts. According to a leading car insurance company in the UK, the car insurance supermarket suffers a loss of £2.85 million in the month of February this year due to claims against damage caused by potholes alone.
