The city has their insurance to cover such things in a pool with many other cities, and a group of attorneys second to none.
The city would not offer to fix it free in the first place, in fact you would be getting a ticket for driving past the barriers and endangering the city workers in the manhole.
What possible damage would it do anyway? Your car would be at a slight angle, perhaps resting on the frame. It would take the tow truck about 8 seconds flat to extract you from that problem, but you would pay the full service call price.
If you then attempted to sue, the city council would meet, deny your claim and turn it over to their insurance and the lawyers there would tie you up for years in litigation.
All hypothetical of course. What would the world be like if there were no hypothetical questions?

the answer relies upon how badly you want this performed, you need to change the motor mounts because maximum rear wheel transmission are connect to the engine at an attitude (4 tiers tilt). next is the bell housing, assuming the grab andflywheel in fantastic condition. I used to have a seventy 2 olds toronad that is a the front wheel force and that i will theorize that it may be switched to my 'seventy 3 olds cutlass. at the same time with his new autos, i ask your self once you need to mdify the exhaust pipes or not because of he CAT converter emission and placement of the numerous gasoline lines. i'd say interior the older autos, its ok.

I would keep it simple. A bad deal is better than a good fight. You are looking for fair compensation. If you think they owe you anything else, then talk to the lawyer and if they agree then have him/her let them know.

For one thing you will not get millions duh, you better just get your tire fixed and any damage that may have incurred when the car hit the manhole, if the city is picking up the tab,most cities will not even do that.,so get it fixed.

No. You can't sue most cities anyway; they're immune from suit. Most governmental agencies are.

i would definitely contact a lawyer discreetly. i have never heard of any government doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts. they are probably trying to buy you off

If they've offered to repair things you'll only look greedy if you do.
