Plaintiffs failed to submit a proof of loss for the items at issue in this lawsuit within 60 days of the flood, and – lacking a waiver from the Federal Insurance Administration – they have failed to meet the pre-suit requirements under their Standard Flood Insurance Policy. As a result of their failure to meet the requirements of the SFIP, plaintiffs are prohibited from seeking additional payments from the defendant-insurer.
The court grants defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
