Report a Personal Injury or Damage to Your Property

1. We are not responsible for the repair and maintenance of the A34 or M4. If your incident occurred here, you will need to contact National Highways at:

2. There is no automatic right to compensation – compensation for damage or injury can only be paid when it has been proven that we are at fault for the damage or injury resulting from the incident.

If your claim is for an incident on a road or pavement:

• We have to be at fault for the injury or damage that’s occurred.
• We are not required to pay claims for general wear-and-tear.
• We are not required to check every road daily but we are required to take “reasonable care” to make sure our roads are safe. We look at our maintenance and inspection records over the last 12 months when considering a claim.

To consider your claim, you must tell us: Exactly where the incident happened Exactly how the incident occurred Exactly what injury or damage was caused in the incident

You can use this service to report an incident of personal injury or damage to property.

On receipt of your incident report we'll confirm our reference number and let you know if we need any more information from you to investigate the incident.

If your claim involves personal injury and in certain other circumstances, it will be forwarded to Gallagher Bassett who act for our insurer. Your claim will be dealt with by Gallagher Bassett and they contact you direct.
