Sedgwick’s loss control consultants are 1099 contractors who act on behalf of insurance underwriters, traveling to commercial properties to observe and evaluate general conditions, physical characteristics, and unusual exposures. They schedule and complete on-demand physical (onsite) insurance inspections for said commercial properties and certain high-value dwellings. They survey properties and collect information for clients in checklist or narrative formats to determine if property risks meet carrier eligibility requirements for underwriting new insurance policies or existing policy renewals.

Surveys or risk assessments can be monoline or multiline. Upon inspection completion, consultants promptly prepare clear and concise comprehensive reports that include exterior measurements, diagrams, photographs, and recommendations in order to summarize the current conditions and visible hazards associated with a potential risk.
