hey guys just wanted your input/opinions and experiance in this.
was driving on the monash freeway heading city bound and a piece, well a chunk of tyre that was on the road was flung up by another car and hit the car i was driving. damage cause was a smashed bonnet guard, a fairly large dint on the bonnet and scratch marks up the bonnet and on the edge where the roof meets the windscreen.
question is can this be "claimed" through vic roads for damage? or is it more of a suck it up and go through insurance company?
reading the vic roads web site its states that "A person who has suffered personal injury or property damage due to the condition of a road or road infrastructure may be entitled to compensation from the responsible road authority"
road contidion was fine as in no pot holes or lose stones/rubbles on the road but there was shreaded tyres on a road where cars are travelling at high speed. so it would be their duty to make sure its clean of everything wouldnt it be?
so is it worth me putting in a claim or just go through insurance for it?
