Holding insurance companies accountable when they wrongfully deny or delay your claim.
If your insurance company is denying your claim, delaying payment, or offering far less than your claim is worth, you may have an insurance bad faith case. Oklahoma has some of the strongest bad faith laws in the country — and Colton Richardson knows how to use them.
Insurance bad faith cases in Tulsa are filed in Tulsa County District Court or federal court depending on the policy and parties involved. Colton Richardson handles bad faith cases against all types of insurers — auto, homeowner's, health, life, and commercial — throughout Tulsa County.
Insurance companies collect premiums for years — then look for any reason to deny or delay claims when you actually need them. In Oklahoma, insurance companies have a legal duty to deal with policyholders fairly and in good faith. When they violate this duty, they can be held liable for bad faith — and you may be entitled to damages far beyond your original claim, including punitive damages.
Keep records of every call, letter, email, and denial. Dates and details matter in bad faith cases.
If your claim was denied verbally, request a written denial with the specific reasons.
Once you accept a settlement, you typically cannot go back for more. Consult an attorney before accepting any offer.
We evaluate insurance bad faith cases at no cost and can often recover far more than the original claim amount.
Oklahoma has one of the strongest insurance bad faith laws in the country. Under the Oklahoma Insurance Code and common law bad faith doctrine, insurers who unreasonably deny or delay valid claims can be held liable for the full policy benefits, consequential damages, attorney's fees, and punitive damages. The Oklahoma Supreme Court has consistently upheld large bad faith verdicts against insurers. The statute of limitations for bad faith claims is generally two years.
Colton Richardson understands that insurance companies count on policyholders not knowing their rights. He fights back with Oklahoma's powerful bad faith laws and recovers what his clients are owed — plus damages for the insurer's misconduct.
