Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance companies have a legal obligation to treat their policyholders fairly and in good faith. A breach of this legal obligation can result in a policyholder’s claim being underpaid, unnecessarily delayed, or even denied entirely. This constitutes bad faith. Bad faith cases can arise from virtually any type of insurance policy, such as medical insurance, life insurance, homeowners or even auto. If an insurance company has chosen to ignore its obligation to treat you, its policyholder, fairly and in good faith, you may have a claim for bad faith.

CURRENT INSURANCE BAD FAITH CASES – HOMEOWNER’S INSURANCE – ALLSTATE INSURANCE

If Allstate has wrongfully denied, delayed, or undervalued your insurance claim, you may have a claim for insurance bad faith under Oklahoma law. Insurance companies have a legal duty to treat their policyholders fairly, conduct reasonable investigations, communicate honestly and promptly pay covered claims. Unfortunately, some Allstate policyholders experience unreasonable claim denials, excessive delays, inadequate investigations, low settlement offers or other unfair claim practices designed to protect the company’s bottom line rather than its insureds.  The Oklahoma Attorney General has filed litigation against Allstate and is investigating this conduct.

If you were insured by Allstate, and your claim was not handled promptly or fairly, don’t wait.  Contact Slama Legal Group to discuss your legal options.
