Oklahoma Insurance Bad Faith

Protecting you from fraud

Buckman & Roach provide legal representation for clients litigating matters of bad faith claims and insurance fraud in Oklahoma. We assist clients in protecting their interests while settling these matters and offer the benefit of high standards of discretion and professionalism.

Oklahoma insurance bad faith lawsuits arise when the insured and policy holder disagree over policy benefits and settlements. The insured will bring accusations of bad faith practices against the insurance company to be settled in court for:

• Denying a claim without explanation
• Failure to communicate with insured over the policy benefits
• Failure to conduct an adequate investigation of the claim
• Prolonging payment or hindering settlement negotiations
• Not disclosing policy limits
• Proposing a settlement worth much less than the claim

Not all of these accusations are warranted and the simple sad fact is that some insureds can and do commit Oklahoma insurance fraud to collect larger settlements. But, for an insurance company, even bogus accusations of bad faith, regardless of their merit, can have detrimental consequences to their reputation.

Buckman & Roach understand the stakes for everyone in an Oklahoma insurance litigation lawsuit. We devote our practice to bad faith litigation and understand your needs with our years of experience.

How to manage a bad faith claim:

One of the best things you can do when involved in bad faith litigation is to retain legal counsel immediately. A lawyer plays a very valuable intermediary role in these situations by legally managing all forms of communication between the litigants and the courts.

Buckman & Roach find that parties that take a proactive and communicative stance have a better chance of negotiating a settlement. This can be achieved by a sincere effort to solve the problems at hand:

• Communicating clearly about the policy and your position 
• Actively negotiating an equitable settlement
• Exploring mediation and arbitration proceedings
• Promptly investigating the claim

There are cases where going to court is the only option. In those cases and any cases of Oklahoma insurance bad faith claims, Buckman & Roach will stand by you to protect your rights, your integrity, and your good reputation.
