Daycare Infant Death & Cover-Up

Wrongful death matter involving an infant death, a concealment effort, and a coverage dispute.

What happened:

An infant died at an in-home daycare operated without proper licensing. The provider initially concealed the circumstances of death.

Evidence secured:

We obtained cell-phone records, text messages, and neighbor statements that contradicted the provider's timeline. We also challenged the insurance carrier's coverage denial through two rounds of briefing.

Why it matters:

Insurance companies should not be rewarded for reinterpreting policy language after a loss. This case established that aggressive coverage litigation can recover multiples of the original policy.

When your own insurance company betrays you, we hold them accountable.

Daycare Infant Death & Cover-Up

Section 01

Denied, Delayed, Underpaid

You pay your premiums every month on time. But when disaster strikes—a storm destroys your roof or an uninsured driver hits you—your insurance company treats you like an enemy.

In Oklahoma, insurance companies have a duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. If they violate this duty, you can sue them not just for what they owe, but for punitive damages for their bad conduct.

Section 02

Signs of Bad Faith

Unreasonable Delay

Taking months to investigate a simple claim while you are left without a car or home repairs.

Lowball Offers

Offering $5,000 for a claim that their own adjuster valued at $20,000.

Section 03

We Sue The Big Giants

We handle bad faith claims against major carriers involving:

  • Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage: Denying coverage for your medical bills.
  • Homeowner’s Insurance: Tornado, wind, and hail damage denials.
  • Commercial Liability: Refusing to defend their own insured drivers.

Why This Firm For Insurance Bad Faith Cases

These are specific, documented reasons — not generic trust claims.

  • We have forced carriers to pay 500% of original policy limits when coverage denials were unjustified — not by writing letters, but by filing suit and forcing discovery.
  • We identify every coverage layer — umbrella, commercial, excess — that adjusters hope you never find.
  • We document claim timelines, written communications, and policy terms to build patterns of delay that prove bad-faith handling under Oklahoma law.
  • We prepare bad-faith cases for trial from day one. Insurance companies settle for full value when they see expert reports commissioned and depositions of their own adjusters scheduled.
  • We take on carriers in both first-party (your own insurer) and third-party (the other driver's insurer) bad-faith disputes.

What the Other Side Will Argue — And How We Counter It

Their argument:

"We denied the claim because the act was intentional and excluded from the policy."

Our counter:

We challenge coverage reinterpretations after loss and have proven carriers changed their position to avoid paying valid claims. Policy language is construed in favor of the insured under Oklahoma law.

Their argument:

"We made a reasonable offer based on our evaluation of the damages."

Our counter:

We compare adjuster evaluations against independent expert valuations. When carriers lowball by ignoring future medical burden or earning-capacity loss, we prove it with records.

Their argument:

"The delay was due to the claimant's failure to provide documentation."

Our counter:

We build a complete communication timeline that shows who asked for what, when, and how many times the carrier changed requirements. Manufactured delay is a bad-faith tactic we expose in discovery.

Common Questions

My claim was denied. Is that always bad faith?

No. Insurers can deny claims if there's a legitimate coverage dispute. Bad faith requires unreasonable conduct—denying a claim without a reasonable basis or proper investigation.

Can I sue my own insurance company?

Yes. First-party bad faith claims allow you to sue your own insurer for unreasonably denying benefits you paid for, such as UM/UIM coverage or medical pay.
