      I was rear-ended by a truck on August 9, 2024, and my vehicle had to be towed by the authorities due to the damage. I contacted a repair shop I had used previously, and they released the vehicle and had it towed to their facility. They handled everything efficiently, and I was very happy with their service.Once we obtained the police report, the shop filed the claim, and the truck company's third-party administrator, Sedgwick, represented them. On August 27, one of Sedgwick's adjusters inspected my car, but it wasn't until October 9 that the shop received a call stating that the vehicle was determined to be a total loss. Sedgwick requested the shop's charges, including towing and storage.Between the inspection in late August and the total loss determination, the shop made multiple attempts to contact Sedgwick's claim handlers but received no assistance or update on the claim's status.I was also injured in the incident and hired an attorney. During a three-way phone call with Sedgwick and my attorney, I was asked questions, but I didn't fully understand them. However, I assumed my attorney would handle the ************ mid-October, Sedgwick contacted the shop to discuss charges. but ***** was not handling anything close to fair.Throughout this process, I was provided a rental vehicle by the shop.

I was CC'd on all emails between the shop and Sedgwick and tried to encourage them to resolve the issues, but Sedgwick was **************** of January 6, 2025, my leased vehicle's account remains open and unpaid.

      June 3, 2024 ************ Inspect inspected our home, including the boiler. On page 13 of the report the boiler is listed as operational and he recommends a basic annual service.Oct 1, 2024 one boiler maintenance technician came to perform the annual service but the technician declared our boiler legally unsafe to operate and disconnected it, citing high carbon monoxide emissions, melted wires visible from outside the unit, extensive evidence of carbon monoxide corrosion. Additionally, the boiler took 20 minutes to turn on the first time and when the tech tried to start it a second time it was unable to start. This was the first time we had attempted to turn on the boiler since taking possession of the home. The recommendation was to replace the boiler. By flagging the boiler as operational instead of noting these obvious defects we were harmed in that we lost the opportunity to find a home that did not need such expensive repairs or negotiate the repair/cost with the sellers and as a result we had to pay $12,000 out of our own pockets unexpectedly. As a remedy, we are asking Midwest Home Inspect to cover the cost of the replacement. At this point we called Midwest Home Inspect asking them to remedy the situation of this costly and unexpected repair and they put in a professional liability claim with their insurance, Sedgwick Claims Management Services. Sedgwick denied our claim on November 22, 2024 saying there was no responsibility to test for carbon monoxide and ignored the other components missed by the inspector. On November 27 I wrote back noting they ignored the rest of the evidence we presented and it's outrageous to think an inspector isn't responsible for checking an appliance won't kill us and asked them to reevaluate the claim with the full information provided. Since then, Sedgwick ignored the 11/27 email, a voicemail, and an email on 12/21.I would like them to reopen the case and pay us for the error made by the inspector that cost us $12,000.

      On October 3 2024 I opened a claim with Sedgwick. It was for the damage that was done to my house as a result of a defective dryer hose for a dryer I had purchased from **. I called ** who advised me to call Sedgwick. I did this and the installer sent Sedgwick a note on October ************************************************************************************ Sedgwick asked that I send the hose to them and Sedgwick had the hose on October 18. I then received a call from Sedgwick on November 20 advising me that the claim was "on hold" since the ** lab determined the hose did not leak. I asked Sedgwick if the hose was tested in the same manner as it was at the point of failure and with the pictures I took of the leaking hose at the time of failure. I sent the setup as outlined on pg 11 of the installation manual. I also asked if the ****** had researched that the part I had received at delivery was not the part that was compatible with my dryer. The installer takes post installation pictures so they can verify that it is the hose installed at delivery. Had it been the correct part, it would have had a curve in the same area where the leak occurred as on the part I had it did not curve and the hose was under strain. Sedgwick never followed up after 8 inquires. I was later advised to send in estimates for the damage when I spoke with them on December 5. I had scheduled estimates, but then sent a note to Sedgwick inquiring if I could have a claim determination made since I could not get estimates for a month out in some cases. They advised I had to do this to get a claim decision. Later they got a BBB case I sent to ** in error and asked about filling out damage amounts. I advised the BBB case should go to **. I now have sent multiple emails to Sedgwick and inquired as to who is handling my claim as the Insurance Commissioner of Wisconsin has advised me that Sedgwick does not have a license in my state to handle liability **********************. No one will respond

      I had an accident 9/19/24, Sedgwick is the company insuring the person who hit my vehicle. They took long to send someone to get an appraisal. They gave me an unrealistic estimate. They did not answer my emails or phone calls when the check was supposed to be sent. When the check finally arrived almost 2 months after they said they sent it the check was in Canadian dollars. Lets go back to the estimate they sent me on 10/31/2024. They had sent me an estimate in US DOLLARS USING NJ STATE SALES TAX. THEY MAILED ME A CHECK FOR THE AMOUNT PROMISED BUT IN CANADIAN DOLLARS WHICH IS ALMOST $200 LESS IN US DOLLARS. THE ADJUSTER DOESNT REPLY HE ISNT HELPFUL. AND NOW ALSO NO ******* WANTS TO ACCEPT THE CANADIAN CHECK SO IM OUT OF LUCK TRYING TO escalate this issue within the company no one helps.
