Sedgwick Acquires Appraisal Service in Mississippi

Sedgwick, the global benefits, risk management and claims management firm, has acquired Appraisal Service of Mississippi Inc., an auto and property valuation firm.

The move further expands Sedgwick’s presence in auto and property claims, the company said in a news release.

ASM was founded in 1988 and now provides appraisal services in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee. The firm has expertise in automobiles, farm equipment, heavy equipment, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and tractor-trailers.

Sedgwick had previously contracted with ASM, so the acquisition is considered a “good fit,” Sedgwick officials said.
