Description:
Tulsa, Oklahoma insurance law lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a bad faith breach of insurance contract theory.
This case was filed in the District Court, Tulsa County, Oklahoma and was removed to federal court by the Defendants.
Plaintiffs claimed that they were insured under a policy issued by the Defendant.
On or about May 21, 2021, Mr. Armstrong was diagnosed with Stage IIC, localized high-risk prostate cancer.
Mr.Armstrong's health care providers recommended proton therapy to treat Mr Armstrong's medical problem.
Defendants wrongfully refused to pay for the treatment claiming a less expensive treatment was just as effective.
A bad faith insurance claim arises when an insurance company unreasonably denies your claim or refuses to pay you the funds that you are entitled to receive under your policy based upon some unreasonable justification. In every contract in Oklahoma, there is an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.
