Can you sue for mud?

You need to contact the highways agency.

Agreed, if you live in America just get him to sue everyone he can think of, there's gotta be a judge stupid enough to award him some money!

McGee, you claim not to be an American... But that is a very American attitude. If he binned his bike then he binned his bike, don't go looking for people to blame.

Mud, potholes, always somewhere about and a known hazard to bikes.
If he/we ride them we have to assume that they may be there and ride accordingly in my opinion.
You can't expect a race-track-perfect surface on public roads, and proving the exact source of a bit of mud is hardly going to be easy.
If the bike isn't 100% perfectly maintained particularly tyres and pressures and suspension maybe that was more of a problem than the road anywa. At 30 you should be Ok unless something really monstrous was on the carriageway and that should have been obvious enough to avoid.

If it's over here then he does have grounds for a claim. Potholes are the responsibility of the highways agency i think, but claiming will be a nightmare. The council and highways agency might try and put the blame on one another.

I think there's a standard procedure for claiming from the highways agency, but you'll need pictures of the pothole and the bike, pictures of the immediate aftermath would be good, but i don't know if he's taken any. You should be able to claim something.

Tell him to ask a solicitor instead of BCF where the collective mind is more interested in making stupid yanks comments. Rolling Eyes

Solicitor would be needed if he could sue them, and if BCF reckons he can't sue them then he'd want to check that with a solicitor anyway.

i think the key is that he passed some pot holes, but it was the mud or road dirt which made him hit the deck.

The council may be responsible for the pot hole but that didnt cause the accident. They are not responsible for mud or loose gravel being on their road.

Of course he could lie and saying it was a pot hole that cause the accident and they might just fancy giving an amount to stop it being taken further.

In the us?

I thought I would give it a try spent a while in cali loved every min of it. (run out of money had to go back with rents to nc what a stupid ass mistake)

Moved here, what a shit hole. It's like if you dont go to there churchs or were born here your not accepted. Theres a bloke in my college from detroit been here 4 and half years and still no one will accept him.

The only people to really talk to me are the black people which is great to be honest as the racsim is still here and it shows how fucking lame the red necks are. The class rooms feel segragated white people will not sit with them its like Shocked

Also the black people here are more educated they can talk tidy (no red neck drawl) etc

So its the white trash who ruin this place Confused

I will move back but only when I am ready Laughing

and its back to cali.
