Can you put a claim into the city for damages to the car? They obviously had notice of the pothole and were getting ready to fix it.
I hit a rock that was pushed up by a frost heave at the bottom of my mother's driveway (dirt road) and did $1200 damage to the engine sheild, transmission oil pan. etc. I wasn't even going 5 mph.
My insurance covered it, but then I ended up with a surcharge for having over $500 in property damage (to just my car...)
