Contact the local government agency in your area that oversees road maintenance and inform them of the damage caused by the pot hole.

In some jurisdictions, they have procedures in place to reimburse motorists for damage from poor road conditions.
Some don't, but some do so it might be worth the effort to communicate with them.

Another avenue might be to discuss your options with your insurance agent about filing a claim under your comprehensive coverage. Typically comprehensive claims are not supposed to count as a "Chargeable Claim".
I guess it would depend on your deductible.....mine is $50.00.
