Do You Have A Bad Faith Insurance Claim?

Insurance policies are part of everyday life for adults in this country. From time to time, policyholders encounter coverage concerns such as an insurance company’s refusal to pay or to defend them in a claim. Other challenges include when an insurance company unreasonably denies or delays paying a claim or interprets policy terms in a manner that is unfair to the policyholder. Insurers have an obligation to defend their policyholders against claims covered under their policy. If an insurer unjustifiably refuses to provide this defense, it can be considered an act of bad faith.

Fortunately, consumers have legal protections that enable them to fight back if they suspect their insurer is inadequately investigating a claim, offering misleading statements about coverage, failing to communicate promptly or otherwise acting in bad faith. At MGW Law, our legal team helps clients understand their legal rights and to pursue fair policyholder treatment.

What Are The Types Of Insurance Available In Wisconsin?

Insurance claims can vary widely depending on the type of coverage and the nature of the insured property or risk. Commercial property insurance claims cover damage or loss to business-related properties, addressing risks such as fire, theft or natural disasters that could impact business operations. Residential property claims, on the other hand, typically involve homeowners or renters’ insurance, offering protection against damage to homes and personal belongings.

Health insurance claims are related to medical expenses, hospital stays and other health-related services, providing financial support for necessary health care. Life insurance claims are made by beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death, ensuring financial security for loved ones. Other types of insurance claims include auto insurance and disability insurance, each with specific coverage and conditions tailored to address different needs and circumstances.

The Wisconsin insurance law team at MGW Law is highly skilled in addressing these and other types of insurance claims.

From Fire To Flood: Insurance Companies Might Not Meet Their Obligations

Property damage can arise from various sources. Fire damage involves destruction caused by flames, smoke and soot. Insurance coverage may have to pay for extensive exterior and interior repairs and cleaning bills. Smoke damage, which may accompany fires or result from nearby wildfires, can affect walls, furniture and personal belongings. Water damage includes issues from plumbing leaks, burst pipes or overflowing water sources, leading to a wide range of potential structural concerns.

Storm-related damage encompasses the effects of severe weather, such as wind and hail, which can compromise the integrity of buildings and homes. Flood damage, a specific type of water damage, results from natural flooding events and often requires separate insurance coverage due to its distinct nature. Additionally, hail damage commonly impacts roofs, siding and vehicles, while tornado damage involves severe destruction from high winds and flying debris, affecting buildings and infrastructure significantly.

Your insurance company knows full well the type of attention and repair that will be necessary but may attempt to delay or minimize your claim to save their profits. That is where our experienced legal team at MGW Law comes in. Our attorneys focus exclusively on insurance law and look forward to hearing about your circumstances and discussing your potential legal options.
