it was my fault for hitting the curb, but the curb had a HUGE chip off of it, if there was no dent on the cement curb my car would not have any damages. Could i sue?

No, you bumped your car regardless if the curb was previously damaged, that part was your fault. As far as the curb damage, in order for there to be any legal action (which could only be done be the city, and the city isn't going to sue themselves for not getting the curb fixed) is if the communtiy had proof it was a city vehicle that caused the accident, or if there was multiple accidents due to the hazzard of the curb chip. You're pretty much out of luck. It's almost impossible to sue over hitting potholes (and those are inevitable), there's no way the're going to compensate you for YOU hitting a curb.

no, but walk over the curb and break your leg, then sue the city

Hahaha! Learn to drive on the road, not the curb. Yes you would have damage anyway, to the innards of your tyre, and probably to your rim.

I doubt it -- unless, of course, the city actually requested or compelled you to hit the curb. Otherwise, your hitting it was your own doing.

Nope. Why?
"it was my fault for hitting the curb"

You could try, but I doubt you would win. Generally, a city won't pay for pothole and road hazard damages unless they were previously notified of the hazard in writing and had been given ample time to repair it.
