The above responding attorneys are correct and I would also advise you to contact a CT personal injury attorney because the notice must contain certain detailed information in order to be valid. Depending upon what caused the crack, you might also have a claim against the abutting property owner. Good luck to you.

However, no matter where you are, it is extremely risky to handle a case against any governmental entity on the "do-itself-plan". I highly recommend that you retain one of the AVVO CT attorneys ASAP.
   
   The statutory notice requirement is only one of many traps for the unwary that lurk in the procedural maze that all government at every level has set up. Here's more: [Blue Link Below]
