• 2026 OK 52

Syllabus

¶0 Plaintiffs' mobile home was damaged during unsuccessful attempts to transport it to a new location. After submitting a claim, Plaintiffs' insurers denied coverage based on policy exclusions for transport-related damage. Plaintiffs sued their insurers and insurance agent, alleging the agent had either intentionally or negligently assured them that their existing policies covered the move. Plaintiffs did not sue the transport companies who allegedly caused the physical damage to the mobile home. Agent filed a third-party claim seeking contribution from the transport companies. After the Plaintiffs settled and dismissed their claims, one of the transport companies moved for summary judgment. The motion argued that Oklahoma's 2011 amendment to 23 O.S. § 15 abolished joint and several liability and therefore eliminated any right to contribution. The district court sustained summary judgment, which the Court of Civil Appeals affirmed. We granted certiorari and now vacate the decision of COCA; but affirm the trial court's order granting summary judgment.
