Insured’s Failure To Give Prompt Notice And Pre-Notice Alteration Of Damaged Property Held To Bar Coverage As A Matter Of Law
A United States federal district court has ruled that a property insured's six-week delay in reporting water damage—during which the insured demolished and repaired the affected area—constituted a breach of the policy's prompt notice condition. The decision examines whether an insurer can be held prejudiced when post-repair expert analysis remains possible, and whether an insurer's investigation of a claim constitutes waiver of late notice defenses.
