Broken front coil springs due to potholes - anything I can do?

My local tyre depot, Redpath Tyres in Wooler, were changing over my winter wheels and tyres and discovered that both the nearside and offside front coil springs were broken.

My immediate reaction was to say 'Thank you Northumberland CC for all the potholes'.

However, as I am unable to identify which pothole(s) or when these breaks occurred is there anything I can do to get redress?
