Leib & Katt defends major insurers throughout Wisconsin and other states in a broad range of insurance-related controversies, including coverage disputes, bad faith claims, and declaratory judgments. Our experienced trial lawyers provide sophisticated understanding of policy terms and coverages at both the trial court and appellate level. Because we are familiar with policies offered by a number of insurers, we effectively litigate first-party and third-party claims. Few law firms surpass our ability to handle this full range of coverage issues.

Our capability to litigate bad faith matters for insurers sets Leib & Katt apart from other law firms. We are thoroughly familiar with effective defense strategies in the primary categories of bad faith action in Wisconsin, including direct claims against the insurer, allegations by insureds that a claim was improperly handled, and third-party suits in cases involving a verdict in excess of policy limits.

In representing insurers we provide assistance, not only with dispute resolution, but with interpretation of terms for homeowners, commercial liability, auto, umbrella, business general, aviation and many other policies. Our lawyers effectively evaluate insurance policy provisions both for insurers and their potential insureds, which is our foundation for effective defense of insurers in coverage matters related to general premises liability, vehicular accidents, construction and professional liability claims.

Because we handle insurance defense cases more frequently than other law firms, our practical experience in court means that major insurance companies rely on our experience to navigate through complex issues involving primary, umbrella and excess access insurance coverages, from single plaintiff cases to mass actions. Our lawyers’ in-depth experience supports an extensive array of coverage issue litigation strategies. This is essential when litigating in Wisconsin where the procedure for litigating coverage and duty to defend issues is very complex, and can create major problems for the unwary.
