Has the City denied your claim? Don’t worry quite yet…

July 1, 2026/in Know The Risks, Protect Yourself/by Kneely Buxton

Has the City denied your claim? Don’t worry quite yet…

Receiving a denial letter from the city can feel discouraging, but that does not mean your case is over. The City does not have the final say. The jury does. It is important to contact a professional, such as Oklahoma Sewer Lawyers as soon as possible. A city’s decision to deny you claim during the 90-day pre-litigation claims process doesn’t mean they will ultimately escape liability. In many cases, a denial is simply the beginning of the legal process. If the city refuses to offer fair compensation, Oklahoma Sewer Lawyers is prepared to take get you the justice you deserve. We won’t roll over for any lowball settlement.

Generally, City employees are trained to deny responsibility and not do anything to assist the homeowner with clean-up; we see it happen all the time. That is why it is important to have an experienced trial lawyer to investigate the true cause of the backup and to protect your rights.

For example, in 2020 when our clients were told by the city of Durant that the City was not liable for a sewer backup that resulted in the destruction of our clients home, they turned to us. Rather than accepting that outcome, we continued to fight on our clients behalf. The case ultimately went to trial, where we obtained a $400,000.00 verdict for our clients in.

Every case is different but no case is too large or complex for our team. Our team of attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants take your case very seriously. From start to finish, you are our #1 priority. Contact The Oklahoma Sewer Lawyers today to get the justice you deserve!
