Insurance Bad Faith

Med Pay, also called medical payments coverage insurance or medical expense coverage, is offered by most motor vehicle insurance companies as part of your policy options.

Med Pay pays for you and your passengers’ medical bills and expenses if you are hurt or injured in a motor vehicle collision in Oklahoma City. Med Pay is used regardless of who is at fault in the accident.

Med Pay is optional and purchased in increments of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, and sometimes even higher. The coverage is applied per person in the collision, so if five people hurt in a car wreck, the appropriate bills will be paid on each up to the limit you purchase.

Homeowners whose houses were destroyed by the recent tornadoes in the Oklahoma City area may be having problems with their insurance providers, especially if the insurance carrier is Allstate.  According to a story in Crain’s Chicago Business, under a program launched in October 2011, Allstate will pay only the actual cash value of a roof that needs to be replaced if the roof is more than 10 years old.  Basically, if a homeowner with Allstate insurance needs a new roof — which very likely includes the majority of the homes recently damaged — they will have to cover the cost above the depreciated value of the roof under the House & Home program.
