Council insurance claims

Our responsibility for different types of claim

Claims for highway (carriageway and footway) accidents 

We maintain public highways, except trunk roads. Transport for London maintains trunk roads. To log a claim, download the Highway incident form (Word) and send it to us by post or email.

You will need to give full details of the incident and documents or photographs as evidence of any loss. We investigate and assess all claims sent to us.

Claims for accidents anywhere else

If you believe the council is at fault for an injury or damage to property on council premises or anywhere else, you may submit a claim for compensation.  To log a claim, download the Insurance Incident Report Form (Word) and send it to us by post or email.

You will need to give full details of the incident and documents or photographs as evidence of any loss. We investigate and assess all claims sent to us.
