Show Notes
Fort Worth first responders face significant challenges in the citys workers compensation system, with delays and denials from administrator Sedgwick making it difficult to receive proper care after job-related injuries. Key cases include firefighter Caleb Halvorson and officer Bobbie Sanchez, who both experienced months of back-and-forth with city leaders and struggled with physical therapy approvals. Families and advocates argue that the network lacks enough experts for high-risk injuries. First responders express growing frustration and distrust, with some using personal insurance after denials and others reporting slow responses from claims adjusters. City officials promise fixes, including a new dedicated case manager and quarterly meetings to cut delays, but some say the problems run deeper than one company.
