Effective approaches for insurance disputes in Oklahoma

Planning an Oklahoma insurance dispute defense requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of insurance laws and the ability to interpret policies. After careful policy review and studying the claim tendered to the insurance company, we present our analysis and advise the most effective course of action.

Negotiating a fair settlement outside of court is generally favored by all parties because it saves time and the cost of litigation. For that reason, we usually initiate settlement negotiations followed by mediation or arbitration if no settlement is reached. Typically, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can also save time and expense for our client.

Insurance coverage litigation is a last resort approach. However, our initial analysis and strategy always addresses the possibility of litigation. That way no time is lost and we stand prepared to go to trial if necessary to protect our client’s interests. Thorough defense preparation also serves our clients well during the negotiation stages and can frequently provide leverage to help us avoid litigation.
