Hit Pothole, SUV Flipped, can i sue?

What is the name of your state? Michigan. Hi i was just wondering if any of you attorneys out there could answer me this. I'm pretty sure i know that in my situation im about to explain, i can no longer take any form of legal action, but here goes. Last Febuary, i was driving in Flint, MI and it was semi wet/icy. The roads in town are some of the worst in the state. I hit a pot hole and my GMC Jimmy flipped and was totalled. I was in shock mumbled to the officer i didn't want an ambulance, i really didn't know what was going on .... my suv rolled about 2 times. Anyways the pothole caused this and i have photos of the road , where my car was and the pot holes. I am just wondering if it is to late to sue the city for negligence. I heard i had to act within 90 days and its been over a year now. The other big thing is, i wasn't initially "hurt" in the accident. I went to the hospital with my mother as soon as she came to the scene and got catscans and x rays. At the time the nurses were kind of shocked and told me my neck was "kinked" or twisted. and now a year later i have pain in my neck but no "medical" evidence to prove i was injured physically. What can i do?

What can i do?

Even if this happened 20 seconds before your post the ONLY person you could sue would be yourself for inattentive driving.

mmmm

i think the city has to keep up their roads to some extent????? no?

Sure they do. But then you show me any law, statute or court case where you have no responsibility to dirve in an attentive manner. Like, noticing there is a pothole and avoiding it.

Yes, you have delayed too long in pressing your claim. Further, even if you had a claim, you would have to have at least SOME proof that the city knew or should have known of that specific pothole and was negligent in not repairing or marking it.
