I had a similiar problem a while ago here in NC.

Ran over a pothole right after a turn at night...gave me a flat, slightly damaged my wheel, and I had to get a front end alignment. Thankfully I wasnt lowered then...

But I took some pictures of the pothole and filed a complaint to the city hoping to get some compensation, but I mailed it about 7 months ago and still no reply.

IMO it wasn't worth it to go thru the trouble of making all those calls and mailings, and even if they do give you some money I doubt it would be alot.
