Helping businesses navigate disputes and litigation.

We provided employers with peace of mind that they will be covered.

Employers’ liability claims occur when an employee becomes injured or ill as a result of their employment. This could include slips and falls or exposure to hazardous materials, among other incidents. Sedgwick has the experience to manage liability claims from the initial FNOL to conclusion.

From the initial FNOL to conclusion, our liability experts work to secure the best outcome for insurer clients.

Our claims investigation process

  • Consider if the insurance policy provides suitable cover to respond to the claim.
  • Determine if the hazard that led to the claim will result in a legal liability issue against the employer or party responsible for the area/product.
  • Investigate the cause of the incident, consider the measures in place to prevent the accident/exposure and determine if there was any negligence.
  • Visit and inspect the incident location, take photographs, evaluate the hazard, interview witnesses, collect any relevant documentation and compile statements.
  • Obtain any contemporaneous evidence, such as CCTV footage or photos taken after the incident.
  • Consider legal liability and, where appropriate, work with clients to defend claims using collected documentation and evidence.
