A: An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. To answer your question, you're dealing with a property loss or property damage case. It doesn't look like a "Bad Faith" claim (your posted category), since the carrier has the right to verify that work is completed and verified by their adjuster or inspector before issuing payment. I'm sorry for your family's ordeal caused by the fire. This is a matter that will probably require review beyond the brief scope of public Q & A forums - looking at damage reports, estimates, architectural/engineering/construction specs, contracts, change orders, etc. One could only speculate why the house was written off due to one room - it could be that the strength of the overall structure was impacted by the fire - but that's beyond the scope of this forum. One option is to arrange a consult to help you sort things out if the project is overwhelming in its scope. I hope your family could have housing restored at the soonest. Good luck
