Pot Hole Damage

I recently did $2.5K damage to my car.

I was driving at night, when out of nowhere I dipped into shallow hole the city was digging. It wasn’t deep, but there was a man hole cover that my car collected as ot bounced and the rest is history.
As I pulled over to inspect the damage, I saw a ton of car plastic (not mine) that leads me to believe that I wasn’t the first one to hit the man hole cover.

There was no construction signs, and I have photos.

Has anyone heard of someone trying to get the city to pay for damages in this situation?

Thx
