> Worth noting - Amazon has nothing to do with this. They simply pay premiums for Sedgewick to administer the claims. The employer typically doesn't tell the insurer to go after the workers, since in this case it is Sedgewick who's footing the bill. You are vastly understating Amazon's role here. Sedgwick is an administrator (TPA), not an insurer. Amazon is big enough that they will be self-insured for workers' comp claims. It's Amazon's money on the line for claims, not Sedgwick's, so Sedgwick will do whatever Amazon tells them to do for claim processing even if it was reckless and stupid.
