Sedgwick can offer a bespoke personal accident claims service, branded if required, available 24/7/365 in select regions around the world. From first notice of loss and validation through to claims settlement, we help care for those needing benefits following an accident or disability.
As the largest provider of disability and absence management solutions in the U.S. and following our acquisition of Direct Health Solutions (DHS) in Australia, Sedgwick is well-equipped to offer a combination of services covering any scenario where people are taking time away from work.
Our clients count on us to support and improve the health and productivity of their workforce in a way that is cost-effective, efficient and compliant.

We can also offer a range of specialised HR services and safety software platforms in Australia.
When an employee requests a change in their job responsibilities due to a disability, employers have many details to consider. Sedgwick can help. We have decades of experience assisting in the development of best practice disability and job accommodation programs that meet clients’ unique requirements while ensuring ADA compliance.
Our team has extensive experience helping employers manage short- and long-term disability claims. Taking care of people is at the heart of what we do; we advocate for overall health and wellness and provide guidance through an unfamiliar process.
Sedgwick helps employers manage all types of leave, including state, federal and municipal leave, such as family and medical leave, paid time off, sick time, vacation, military service and employer-specific policies.
In today’s global economy, many employers retain and support an international employee population. To ensure that employees who are injured in the workplace outside of the U.S. have ready access to high quality healthcare options, Sedgwick offers our 24/7/365 international case management services.
Sedgwick case managers function as an advocate for employees, providing assistance with international travel exposures, including automobile accidents, general liability exposures, lost luggage, and access to appropriate medical care, offering an explanation about how the claims process works, and coordinating resources to ensure that the employee’s welfare remains at the forefront throughout the process. Our multilingual experts provide a wide range of medical-related referral services, recognize subrogation and contribution potential through contingency-based recovery services, and also facilitate investigations for all loss and claim exposures, including property, marine, automobile and general liability and numerous specialized coverages.

It’s often difficult for employees to understand all of the programs and health-related benefits their employer offers — and who to call for what. An employee’s own health issues, as well as the medical needs of their family, can impact productivity. Within this program, each plan member is assigned a health assistant, who will work with the whole health team to help the employee get the best care possible, navigate complex insurance and benefits, receive the financial assistance to which they are entitled and quickly return to their normal, productive lives.
