Sedgwick’s network of highly qualified property appraisers spans across the U.S. Nearly all our appraisers have earned relevant professional certifications and work at the general adjuster level or above. Our AUP team also has the backing of our diversified experts in contents, managed repair, forensic accounting and forensic engineering in establishing a fair and proper value for any type of loss. Drawing on a wealth of experience, our appraisers are known for their effective negotiating skills and ability to drive positive claim resolution outcomes.

When the appraisers selected by the insurance company and policyholder cannot reach an agreement amongst themselves regarding the value of a loss, an umpire can serve as a neutral third party and make a binding decision. Sedgwick’s AUP team includes highly qualified appraisal umpires with claims experience in every U.S. jurisdiction. Enlisting one of our experienced umpires can help you get disputed claims settled fairly and avoid the perils of litigation.
