Insurance policies are meant to help policyholders during their times of financial need. Policyholders expect to receive the benefits of having these policies when the time comes. Our Madison insurance bad faith attorneys provide skilled legal representation to clients who have been the victim of a bad faith practice by an insurance company and are owed a fair settlement.
What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance bad faith is a tactic that an insurance company uses to avoid fulfilling its contractual obligations to a policyholder regarding valid claims. Policyholders may file a tort case when this occurs to seek compensation for the damages they experienced.
There are many tactics insurance companies use that could constitute acting in bad faith. Some examples of bad faith insurance practices could be:
- Denying an insurance claim without providing a reason
- Failing to promptly investigate the claim
- Unreasonably delaying an insurance claim
- Offering less money for an insurance claim than it is worth
- Misrepresenting Wisconsin insurance law or insurance coverage
If you have been wrongfully denied an insurance claim, our insurance dispute attorneys will bring your claim to court to prove Wisconsin insurance laws were broken.

Hiring lawyers early in the game can prevent the insurance company from playing games and wrongfully denying or delaying your claim.
