FAQ
What are the first steps to file a fire damage insurance claim in Oklahoma?
As soon as it is safe, document all damage with photos and video before moving anything. Contact your insurance company or agent within 24–48 hours to open a claim, then request a certified copy of the fire report from your local Oklahoma fire department, as adjusters will require it. Secure the property with board-up or tarping services to prevent further damage—most Oklahoma policies require you to mitigate additional losses or risk a reduced payout.
How long does Oklahoma law give an insurer to settle a fire damage claim?
Under Oklahoma insurance statutes (36 O.S. § 1250.6), insurers must acknowledge your claim within 10 business days and must accept or deny the claim within 45 days of receiving a properly completed proof-of-loss form. If the company needs more time, they must notify you in writing with a reason. If you believe your insurer is acting in bad faith or missing deadlines, you can file a complaint with the Oklahoma Insurance Department at insurance.ok.gov.
