Opinion
BORDEN, J.
In this action to recover proceeds pursuant to a homeowner’s insurance policy, the plaintiff appeals1 from the judgment of the trial court in favor of the defendant. The trial court determined that the action had not been brought within one year of the date of the loss, as required by the policy, and that the accidental failure of suit statute, General Statutes § 52-592,2 did not operate to save the plaintiffs action. The plaintiff claims that the trial court improperly concluded that § 52-592 (a) did not save the action. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
