I can only assume it will be impossible to get compensation from the city for your damage. Well..... If you put up a good fight, you may get a "special call" to work some off-the-record deal to settle the matter. Unfortunately, I can't think of any lawyer who'd want to help you put up a fight against Jersey City.


A friend of mine successfully got Berkeley, CA to pay for some parts for his Mustang (tire and rim maybe, its been a while) that where damaged by a pothole a few years back. I remember it sounding like a huge PITA to actually get them to do it and I was surprised that he had any success. I think there was some negligence involved, like the pothole had been there for months or something, that probably helped his case.
