If you have suffered personal injury or property loss, your insurance company is obligated to handle your claim with a reasonable degree of efficiency and ethical conduct. A victim of "bad faith insurance" may be eligible for damages. Insurance companies have a duty to deal fairly. Unfortunately, these big companies sometimes put profit before people and fail to treat their policyholders fairly.
You may have a case against your insurance company when it does not honor the obligations in your insurance contract. This is called a bad faith case, which arises from disputes between you and your own insurance company. We have seen bad faith cases involving all kinds of insurance, from health and dental to automobile and homeowners.
If you or a loved one is a victim of bad faith insurance, don't try to take on the insurance company alone. The average policyholder is no match against the insurance company's vast resources and attorneys. Insurance companies have a lot of resources behind them if you are involved in a case of bad faith, including skilled lawyers. For the average policyholder, interpreting a contract can be difficult. Turn to the Law Offices of Jeff Martin for experienced assistance. We can examine the contracts and take on the big insurance companies for you. We can pursue the full compensation you are entitled to under Oklahoma law.
In Oklahoma, an insurance company commits bad faith when it intentionally denies a claim, fails to process a claim, or fails to pay a claim without a reasonable basis for such action.
Examples of bad faith:
It is not bad faith if another driver's insurance company is refusing to pay you money, since there is no contract between you and that insurance company.
