Bad Faith Denials by Insurance Companies

Have you filed a legitimate claim with your insurance carrier, only to have the insurance company deny the claim, offer you much less than the policy requires or simply drag its heels in responding to your claim. Have you felt powerless against a big insurance provider that denied a rightful claim for loss, under a policy that you dutifully paid for years?

At the West Law Firm, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, our lawyers can help. We have years of experience representing individuals who have wrongfully been denied coverage by insurance companies, coverage they are contractually obligated to provide. Contact us if your insurance provider has unfairly denied coverage on a claim.

The courts have held that a special relationship exists between an insurance company and its insured, requiringthe insurance companyto act in good faith toward its insured. In particular, this means that the insurance company is under an obligation to pay when it becomes reasonably clear that a claim is covered. There are also statutes that require an insurance company to respond to a claim within certain time limits. Insurance companies who breach their duty of good faith and fair dealing may also be liable under certain state deceptive trade practicesacts.

When an insurance company refuses to pay a claim it is legally obligated to pay, they may be acting in bad faith, and we can help you compel the insurance company to pay. Refusal to pay claims can cause serious problems for injured victims relying on insurance payments to cover, for example, medical expenses and lost income.

We have considerable experience litigating bad faith insurance claims and forcing the insurance companies to meet their obligations to our clients. We can help you too.
