PROTECTING WISCONSIN POLICYHOLDERS IN INSURANCE COVERAGE & BAD FAITH DISPUTES
With more than 30 years of combined experience in insurance law, Barton Cerjak S.C. brings a unique perspective to representing policyholders. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of how insurers evaluate, dispute, and deny claims – knowledge we use to anticipate their strategies and protect your rights from the very start.
When an insurance company delays, denies, or mishandles a claim, we step in as skilled advocates to level the playing field and fight for the outcome you deserve. Whether through strategic settlement negotiations or forceful courtroom advocacy, we represent insured clients in all stages of coverage disputes and bad faith litigation.
We recognize the complexities of insurance contracts and the high stakes involved when carriers act in bad faith. Our meticulous, client-focused approach ensures your interests are clearly understood and relentlessly pursued.
What We Do
Coverage Dispute Resolution
We evaluate denial of claims, policy exclusions, limits of liability, and scope of coverage to help clients their understand policy terms and fight for the benefits they’ve rightfully paid for.
Bad Faith Litigation
When insurers delay, refuse, or inadequately investigate claims, we pursue bad faith actions to hold them accountable, seeking damages beyond policy limits when warranted.
Pre-Litigation Counseling & Demand Negotiation
We engage insurers early with persuasive demands, backed by legal analysis, to resolve coverage disputes before litigation becomes necessary.
Litigation Advocacy
When insurers refuse to act in good faith, we take cases to trial – asserting both contractual and tort-based claims on behalf of our clients.
Appellate Strategy
Working closely with our firm’s seasoned appellate advocates, we pursue favorable rulings when lower courts misinterpret policy terms or misconstrue claims-handling duties.
Protecting Homeowners and Business Owners Alike
With deep experience across commercial litigation, business disputes, and appellate practice, our attorneys bring a holistic perspective to insurance cases. We understand not just the technicalities of insurance law, but also how to compellingly tell your story—whether to an adjuster, a judge, or a jury.
If you are a homeowner or business owner facing property damage and a resistant insurer, Barton Cerjak S.C. can put our decades of insurance law insight to work for you.
