You should definitely be able to claim successfully. I had the same problem with my Fiat Coupe several years ago - the wheel, tyre, and suspension were all damaged by a similar pothole. Get whatever evidence you can, including, ideally something from the AA guy (as an independent witness).
My council (Trafford) acknowledged the claim quickly, but then passed it to an outsourced agent (Zurich Insurance) who really dragged their feet, but eventually paid out in full on all the items - I just had to hassle them, so you may find the same with your council.
