July 15, 2026 – Insurance issues can arise in litigation, business, real estate, personal injury, and construction matters, even for attorneys who do not regularly practice insurance law.

A new book, Insurance Responsibilities: A Guide from Anderson on Wisconsin Insurance Law from State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE®, examines the duties and potential liabilities of insurers, insureds, and insurance agents.

Also, newly available are 2026-27 supplements to three employment law references covering hiring and firing, wages and hours, and employment discrimination.

New: Insurance Responsibilities: A Guide from Anderson on Wisconsin Insurance Law

This new book pulls three of the most-used chapters from the two-volume Anderson on Wisconsin Insurance Law treatise and organizes them around the three parties in almost every insurance dispute: the insurer, the insured, and the insurance agent.

Most attorneys are not insurance specialists, yet insurance issues surface frequently in litigation, business, real estate, personal injury, and construction matters.

Designed for fast use, Insurance Responsibilities provides you with enough information to resolve straightforward matters in-house, recognize when you need deeper research, and advise clients from a known standard that Wisconsin attorneys already trust.

This title equips you to:

• identify the responsible party quickly, whether the issue lies with the insurer, the insured, another insurer, or the agent;

• assess coverage early at the pressure points where an insured's duties can be disputed, limited, or denied: notice, cooperation, proof of loss, misrepresentation, and protection of property;

• evaluate insurer conduct, including whether an insurer properly canceled or nonrenewed a policy, reserved its rights, denied coverage, paid interest, or met its contractual obligations;

• assess whether an agent may face liability for failing to procure requested coverage, explain exclusions, maintain coverage, or accurately represent its scope; and

• create a focused legal strategy by identifying the governing insurance law, determining the applicable legal standards, anticipating opposing arguments, and assessing the likely consequences.

For general practitioners, solo/small-firm attorneys, civil litigators, personal injury lawyers, business lawyers, and newly admitted attorneys, it is the insurance reference to reach for first.

Insurance Responsibilities: A Guide from Anderson on Wisconsin Insurance Law is available both in print and via Books UnBound.
