Earthquake Insurance Claim Denials Happen Often in Oklahoma

Understanding the Reasons Why

The risks of damage from an earthquake are considerable, a fact of which insurance companies are well aware of. They calculate this risk into their premiums which you, as a client, are responsible for paying.

When you make your premium payments fully and on time, it is not unreasonable that you would be caught off guard when you finally make a claim, and it is denied.  Of course, there are legal and acceptable reasons for this. Perhaps you made errors on your paperwork or claimed damage for which you were not covered. But this is not always the case.

Quite often these delays, underpayments, and denials are the result of bad faith practices.

Your insurance company may have acted in bad faith if they:

• Requested unnecessary documentation of your earthquake damage
• Delayed the claims process
• Did not investigate the damage appropriately
• Complicated the claims process
• Undervalued your damage
• Intimidated you into accepting an inappropriate settlement.

At Doug Terry Law, we are well aware of the tactics insurance companies use to deny claims, which minimizes their expenses and maximizes their profits. We also know how these organizations respond to customers who try to appeal.

We can help you address the inappropriate responses from your insurance company. We know how to handle situations like this.
