Oklahoma Earthquake Settlement: Your Rights and Claims

From January 29, 2019, until now, many residents in Oklahoma have experienced damaging earthquakes that have disrupted lives and property. If you believe you have been affected, good news awaits you! A class action lawsuit has reached a settlement totaling $2.6 million, specifically addressing claims concerning the earthquakes that occurred over this period.

The Settlement and Its Context

The Poynter Law Group announced this significant settlement following issues related to wastewater disposal wells allegedly operated by several defendants, believed to have contributed to seismic activities, including the notable 5.1 magnitude earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma, on February 2, 2024. The lawsuit involved claims against Freedom Energy, Montclair, New Dominion, and HP, all of whom dispute the allegations but have agreed to settle to avoid further legal proceedings. This settlement aims to address claims from earthquakes occurring within the designated timeframe.

Who is Eligible?

If you were affected by these earthquakes and are a resident of Oklahoma, you may be part of the settlement class. This includes anyone who has suffered property damage due to the quakes from January 19, 2019, to the present. Notably, residents who have previously submitted claims in the Salzman v. Freedom case do not need to refile unless they wish to amend their claims.
