 And the other day I had a blowout, hit a pothole, cracked my rim, did a bunch of damage to my vehicle. Is there any way that I can, how do I go about getting reimbursed for that? All right, here's what happens and the way you do it. A simple answer, yes, you can do something about it and you can sue. However, first you have to make a claim, okay? That's the first thing you do is make a claim against the city. They're going to deny it. They always do.
