A federal district court in Connecticut has rejected a homeowner’s lawsuit against her insurer for damage to her home allegedly caused by a winter storm, finding that she had not provided prompt notice of her loss to her insurer and that she also had initiated her lawsuit too late.

The Case Elaine Discuillo said that a winter storm damaged her home in Oakdale, Connecticut, on or about February 10, 2015. In the spring, she said, a friend applied sealant to the roof around a bathroom skylight, in an unsuccessful attempt to fix a leak purportedly caused by the storm. Ms. Discuillo also said that she tried to spackle or putty certain spots in that bathroom but did not immediately do anything to repair the damage to two upstairs bedrooms.
