When your insurance company treats you badly or denies a valid claim they are acting in Bad Faith. You don't have to just take it.
If you, or a family member, have been improperly represented by your own insurance company, we can help.
Oklahoma law requires that the insurance company act in good faith toward its insured. It has the duty of good faith and fair dealing. But when an insurance company breaches that duty and acts in bad faith you have the right to take action to persuade them to act fairly.
There is a strict Oklahoma Statute of Limitations relating to any insurance dispute that limits the amount of time you have to file a legal claim.
For over 40 years, Oklahoma Insurance Disputes Lawyer James Self, at Self & Associates has successfully represented and recovered millions of dollars for our Oklahoma clients, from every corner of the state.

Most of us here in Oklahoma have insurance of all kinds that we rely on. We buy car insurance, home owners insurance, life insurance, health insurance or disability insurance to name a few. You buy insurance coverage to protect you and your family from harm -- but when you need it will the insurance company be there like it promised when you paid your premiums?
An insurance company can be acting in bad faith if it does any of the following to an Oklahoma resident:
Here in Oklahoma, legal claims for bad faith can only be brought against your own insurance company. These are called first party claims. Bad faith does not apply to the other parties insurance company when you have been injured or damaged by someone else. Bad faith can apply to your own uninsured / underinsured coverage when injured in a motor vehicle accident that was someone else's fault who was either uninsured or underinsured.
When an insurance company acts in bad faith the insured can sue not only for the fair amount of the claim but also for additional consequential damages that the bad faith caused its insured. Additionally if the bad faith of the insurance company was intentional or done maliciously then the insured can seek punitive damages.
