Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients investigate and resolve business interruption claims, take examinations under oath and conduct fraud and arson investigations.  We also have significant experience in forensic accounting issues.  Our firm’s trial attorneys serve our insurance clients by pursuing and trying subrogation actions following resolution of first-party disputes.

Sedgwick has particular expertise in responding to natural disasters and other cataclysmic events affecting numerous insureds.  For example, Sedgwick has a firmwide task force devoted to serving insurance industry clients in responding to Hurricane Katrina. A major insurer appointed Sedgwick national coordinating counsel for all of its Hurricane Katrina claims, and the firm has been retained by several other insurance clients to assist on Hurricane Katrina matters.  Sedgwick has developed a comprehensive plan for dealing with Hurricane Katrina claims, and has established relationships with various experts and consultants whose assistance will likely be necessary to successfully resolve the claims.
