Insurance Bad Faith

Unreasonable denial · Delay · Lowball offers

Bad faith has a price in Oklahoma.

Since 1977 the Oklahoma Supreme Court has recognized that an insurer’s duty to deal fairly and in good faith with its own policyholder can be enforced as a tort, separate from the contract. When an insurer unreasonably denies, delays or underpays a valid claim, that can expose it to damages beyond the policy itself.

  • Delay with no explanation while you suffer real harm

Questions

Insurance Bad Faith, answered.

What is insurance bad faith?

In Oklahoma, an insurer owes its insured a duty of good faith and fair dealing. Unreasonably withholding payment of a valid claim can breach that duty. It’s a separate claim from breach of contract.

Can I get more than the policy limits?

In some bad-faith cases, damages can go beyond the policy benefits. Whether that’s possible depends on the facts. We’ll tell you straight.
