Insurance Disputes Laws in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin insurance is regulated by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) under Wis. Stat. chs. 600–655. Wisconsin recognizes common-law insurance bad faith as an intentional tort (Anderson v. Continental Insurance Co., 1978 — a leading case nationally). Wisconsin's first-party bad-faith tort supports compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees in appropriate cases. Wisconsin is a traditional fault (tort) auto-insurance state, with mandatory minimum liability and UM coverage.
