you're screwed unless you have witnesses or actual proof.

anyone can get into a wreck, then blame the city.

no proof=you're screwed

If the car's suspension was modified at all they will just laugh at you. Take pictures of the car, pothole, and some point of reference (ruler, foot, ect). Unless there were signs posted, you should be able to bitch enough to get it paid for.

They are responsible, you just have to find the right route to take. A pothole claimed my mothers wheel on her mazda 626, my dad figured out what to do and sure enough, filed a report, and they paid for the new wheel and all associated costs.
