You might have been able to make a claim at the time of the accident depending on the defect in the sidewalk. However, the statute of limitation in Connecticut is 2 years from the date of injury. So even if your injury occured at the end of June, you are roughly 4 months and 4 days past the end of your statute of limitations.  Furthermore, if this sidewalk belonged to the municipality, your SOL is even shorter.  There is such a thing as tolling of statute of limitations in rare circumstances but based on what you are providing,  I find it highly unlikely?  Please feel free to contact me for more information. 203-870-6700
