Bad faith claims usually arise out of a dispute between the insurance company and a claimant over the obligations of the insurance company to pay a claim under the terms of the policy contract. These contracts are often carefully overseen by legal counsel for the insurance company, and as such are updated frequently to reflect changes to the court's interpretation of the law. Insurance companies have a duty under the law, whether implicitly or explicitly outlined in a policyholder's contract, to deal fairly and in good faith with their clients.

Wilson Kehoe and Winingham has tried or settled several cases against insurance companies for unfair denial of large claims, ranging from fire losses and roof collapse to disability claims made by physicians and other professionals. Firm partner Bill Winingham has argued before the Indiana Supreme Court to continue to ensure that Indiana holds insurance companies accountable for their lack of good faith in denying claims.
