Sedgwick Identifies Key Trends Reshaping Property Claims in 2026
Sedgwick has released its 2026 Loss Adjusting Insights Report, highlighting eight major trends transforming the global property claims landscape. The report emphasizes how climate volatility, AI adoption, and expanding infrastructure are increasing complexity for insurers and risk managers. It notes that extreme weather events in the U.S., including severe convective storms causing over $50 billion in insured losses annually, have significantly reduced recovery windows between disasters. The report also addresses workforce shortages in construction, rising project values, and delays due to extended equipment lead times. These factors are compounding challenges for claims professionals managing costs and timelines. Sedgwick's analysis aims to help industry leaders prepare by leveraging technology, expertise, and strategic partnerships.
