its like potholes if they have markings around them it means there already aware of them and are getting round to fixing. to be honest even if its marked and it hasnt been fixed you should still have a case because they havent adressed the problem
This is like hitting a pothole, if they say "It was fine at last inspection X days ago and we have had no reports" then legally they can get away without paying because they haven't been negligent and can't be expected to fix a fault that arises the exact millisecond it happens... but I would still claim of course, you have nothing to lose. But hitting a pothole or this speedbump is far from an automatic payout

Have a go, that's the American way!

People are confusing me in here. Basically you have MORE chance of getting a claim if it has already been marked because they still haven't done anything about it.
If it hasn't and they haven't had it reported you have LESS chance because how can they fix something they don't know exists?
You'd have a good case there, I've successfully been compensated by the local highways authority for damage caused to my previous car by a pothole. You need to take some pictures (which you have) provide a receipt for the items you need to pay for as replacments. I would also call the council and specifically ask to speak with someone in the highways department and follow up all phone calls with a letter. You may need to be persistant but they are liable for maintaining the condition of the roads.

i would pursue it mate. regardless of how low your car is it shouldn't be like that. just unfortunate for you it caused damage to your new splitter.
