OK AG Gentner Drummond files lawsuit against Allstate alleging claims denied in coordinated scheme

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – On Tuesday (July 7, 2026), Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced his office has filed a lawsuit against Allstate Insurance Company alleging a coordinated scheme to deny or underpay wind and hail damage claims.

According to Drummond’s office, the lawsuit alleges that Allstate implemented an internal program referred to as the “Disaster Payment Minimization Scheme” that was designed to reduce claim payments and increase corporate profits.

“This lawsuit is about protecting Oklahoma homeowners and holding insurance companies accountable when they fail to honor the promises they make to policyholders,” Drummond said. “Consumers pay their premiums expecting their insurance company to be there when disaster strikes. When insurers put profits ahead of policyholders, it’s hardworking families and individuals who ultimately pay the price.”

Drummond alleges Allstate systematically altered its claims process and contends the practices were not disclosed to policyholders related to claims across the state.
