To file a claim with the city for pothole damage, you typically need to contact the city's public works department or department of transportation. They will provide you with a claim form to fill out, which will require details about the incident, such as the location, date, and extent of the damage. You may also need to provide documentation, such as photos of the pothole and the damage to your vehicle. It's important to file the claim promptly after the incident and follow any specific instructions provided by the city to ensure your claim is processed efficiently.
Yes you can file a claim with the city.
You should begin first by having some evidence of damage such as a mechanic's estimate of what the repair cost will be. You should have pictures of the pothole and its approx size. Pictures of damage to your wheel or suspension systems would also help and should be noted on mechanics estimate. Send certified letter to city attorney about your claim. Your claim MUST be denied by the city before you can sue, this may take more time. You will need proof of this denial before you file your suit and agian have claim served upon the city attorney by the sheriffs dept. If they know they are in the wrong they may settle out prior to trial, if not, make sure you bring evidence and especially any witnesses that were either with you or may have seen you strike the pothole.

In some towns or cities yes. We can in Canada. *Filing a lawsuit for any reason should be a last resort rather than the first choice. In US cities a motorist who has incurred damage should file a complaint with the city street department. Please be advised, generally a claim will not be considered valid if the pothole or obstruction that caused the damage was not previously reported to the proper agency.
What type of claim? Damage or injury?
Without anything damaged, lost or stolen there is nothing to claim.
If your lien holder repo's your vehicle, they can file a claim against your insurance for damage to the vehicle. The repo company itself would have no claim, because it's not their vehicle.
Generally speaking no. If the contractor did damage intentionally you could file a vandalism claim but you would also need to file a police report. If the contractor was negligent, you could file a claim with their commercial liability insurer.
It will be on file with the Ins Co as a cancelled claim. If the adjuster did not put the claim in the PILR database only the Ins Co will know about it. If they did it will pop up as a reported claim for all to see. PILR = Property Insurance Loss Register

Individuals seeking compensation for property damage caused by the police can file a claim with the police department or city government responsible for the officers involved. They may also consider hiring a lawyer to help navigate the legal process and potentially file a lawsuit against the responsible parties. It is important to gather evidence, such as photos and receipts, to support the claim.
