Above is the first article that was published about our misfortune.

Sadly travelling north from whangarei I hit a cluster of potholes, no I was not speeding and was driving to the conditions. The potholes caused my driver's door airbag to deploy putting myself and our 3 month old baby at risk.

Below is the second article.

no news is not always good news   17 July 2023

unfortunately we have not had a pleasant time dealing with waka kohtahi or fulton hogan, neither will confirm with us that they received our claim but have told media they have also we have been abused over the phone and just dealt with pure rudeness and unprofessionalism. it's heart breaking to think if we were a insurance company it would of been dealt with by now, but cause we are a normal kiwi couple struggling like the rest of our fellow kiwis we don't matter. its been two months now and still nothing directly to us Grant MP running for northland this year for national has been helping us thankfully but he was informed our claim was declined yet no one has bothered to contact us or give us a reason. we need your help to make it public knowledge again Share Share Share please and thank you from Danielle and Devlin
