James Tiffoney wants to sue the council.
James Tiffoney unable to drive and lost out on £10,000 in wages after being left in agony following the fall in Clarkston. The 66-year-old had to take 10 weeks off work as a result of the fracture and now plans to sue his local council for damages.
"The fall was terrible. I hit the ground and I was in agony. The pain was excruciating. I was in a right state."I complained to the council but they refused to pay out. Road workers then came out and patched up the pothole, but it's already crumbling again. I've absolutely no doubt that someone could trip and fall in it again.
James, who worked in the oil industry before retiring and becoming a taxi driver, added that he was fit and healthy before his accident and has been left angry by the council denying any responsibility for his broken bone.
