Claims Against Sedgwick in Florida
Claims against Sedgwick in Florida are usually claims against the business Sedgwick represents, not Sedgwick itself. If you were hurt at a store, hotel, theme park, or other property and Sedgwick contacted you, you may be able to seek compensation from the responsible company for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If Sedgwick is handling your injury claim, call the Law Offices of Jason Turchin at 800-337-7755 or start a live chat for a free consultation. You won’t pay any fees or costs unless we win or settle your case.
Sedgwick Claims Management Services is one of the largest third-party administrators (TPAs) in the country. It handles injury, disability, workers’ compensation, and liability claims for major retailers, employers, property owners, and insurance companies.
If you filed a personal injury claim and Sedgwick is involved, you may be facing delays, denials, or low settlement offers. You are not alone. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin helps clients throughout Florida pursue compensation in claims handled by Sedgwick.
What types of claims does Sedgwick handle in Florida?
Sedgwick may handle many types of injury and liability claims in Florida, most often on behalf of large businesses where someone was hurt. These include:
- Slip and fall accidents at national retailers or grocery stores
- Trip and fall claims in malls or shopping plazas
- Workplace injury claims
- Hotel or resort injuries
- Theme park and attraction incidents
- Retail or warehouse injuries
- Premises liability claims involving negligent security or hazardous conditions
Sedgwick may handle claims for companies such as Walmart, Target, Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Universal Studios, and others. For examples of how these claims can unfold, see our posts on filing a premises liability claim after an injury at a Walmart in Jacksonville and a slip and fall at a Publix in Fort Lauderdale.
Falls are among the most common reasons people end up dealing with an administrator like Sedgwick. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, injuries related to stairs, ramps, landings, and floors, resulting in large part from slips and falls, accounted for more than 3 million emergency department treated injuries in 2024.

Why are Sedgwick claims often difficult?
Sedgwick works for the company that hired it, not for you. Its role is often to limit what the company pays and to close claims quickly.
Common problems injury victims report when dealing with Sedgwick include:
- Delays in communication after the claim is opened
- Lost documents or no follow-up on requests
- Repeated requests for information that may not be needed
- Denial of valid claims
- Low settlement offers that don’t reflect the severity of injuries
- Misclassification of injuries or liability
Florida law also shapes how these claims are evaluated. In slip and fall cases involving a substance on the floor of a business, Florida Statute §768.0755 generally requires the injured person to show the business knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. Adjusters may focus on this point when deciding whether to pay.
Adjusters may also argue that you were partly at fault. Under Florida Statute §768.81, your recovery can be reduced by your share of fault, and in most negligence cases a person found more than 50 percent at fault may not recover damages.
How should you handle a personal injury claim when Sedgwick is involved?
The best way to protect a claim handled by Sedgwick is to document everything, keep getting medical care, and be careful about what you say. These steps can help:
- Keep detailed records. Save all emails, letters, voicemails, and medical documentation.
- Get medical care. Continue treatment and follow your doctors’ orders. Delays in care may hurt your case.
- Avoid recorded statements without legal advice. Your words may be used against you later.
- Track your expenses. Medical bills, lost wages, transportation, and other costs matter in your claim.
- Speak with a lawyer. An experienced Florida injury attorney can take over communication, negotiation, and legal filings.
It also helps to gather these items early, before they are lost or forgotten:
- Your claim number and the adjuster’s name and contact information
- Photos of the scene and of your injuries
- Names of witnesses and any employees you spoke with
- Incident report copies, if one was made
- Proof of lost income, such as pay stubs or a letter from your employer
Our Florida slip and fall law FAQs answer more common questions about these cases.

Frequently asked questions about Sedgwick claims
Can I sue Sedgwick directly?
Usually not. Sedgwick is a claims administrator, not usually the party legally responsible for your injury. The company it represents, such as a retailer or hotel, may be sued for negligence.
What if Sedgwick denied my claim?
A denial is not necessarily the end of your claim. Depending on the facts, a lawyer may be able to challenge the decision with more evidence or file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible company.
Do I need an attorney to deal with Sedgwick?
You can handle a claim on your own, but Sedgwick often takes claims more seriously when you have a lawyer. An attorney can also help make sure you don’t settle for less than your case may be worth.
Can I hire a Florida lawyer to handle my personal injury claim?
Yes. You can hire a Florida personal injury lawyer to handle your claim, including all contact with Sedgwick. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin works on a contingency fee basis, with fees and costs waived if there is no recovery.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a negligence lawsuit. Deadlines can vary by case type, so don’t delay. Evidence may be lost over time, and acting sooner can help your case.
