CE/CLE Webinar: But What Will it Cost? – Analyzing Surety Performance Bond Claims
May 20, 2026 at 10:00am CTThis course provides an overview of Cost to Complete (CTC) analysis for bonded construction projects after a termination or claim has been deemed justifiable. Participants will learn how sureties use CTC to establish loss reserves, evaluate exposure against the bond’s penal sum, and determine the most viable and cost-effective completion strategy. Completion options discussed include managing the defaulted principal, engaging a replacement contractor, reletting the completion contract, or resolving the claim through a penal sum settlement. The course also explains how CTC is calculated by comparing remaining contract balances and pending change orders against anticipated completion costs, including construction costs, unpaid earned funds, general conditions, fees, liquidated damages, and contingencies.

CE/CLE Webinar: Beyond Warnings: Child Development, Caregiver Supervision, and Liability Defense
June 10, 2026 at 10:00am CTThis one-hour webinar explores how child development and caregiver supervision influence liability and defense strategy in cases involving child injuries. Drawing on principles of developmental psychology and human factors, the program explains why children are not “small adults” and how age-related capabilities affect interactions with products and environments. Through focused case examples, participants will learn how supervision analysis and developmental science can support comparative negligence arguments and help clearly communicate responsibility to judges and juries.

CE/CLE Webinar: Subrogation Opportunities in Environmental Claims
June 24, 2026 at 10:00am CTSubrogation Opportunities in Environmental Claims is a one-hour course designed to educate insurance company participants concerning how to recognize or distinguish when environmental liability for an event may not, in entirety, be the responsibility of one carrier. A thorough investigation into the causation of a contamination event can shed light on other parties who may be jointly or solely responsible for the event. In many cases, other professional disciplines may be needed to accurately assess the contamination causation. A brief background will be established concerning typical environmental events and claims that arise from chemical and/or other releases causing damage. Common types of subrogation cases will be discussed, as well as situations where the damage event may be exacerbated by the remedial / abatement approach conducted by the contractor. Multiple case studies will be implemented to demonstrate keys concepts discussed, including the various professional disciplines used in these types of analyses.

Managing Risk and Performance in Data Centres: Construction and Delivery
On-Demand Educational WebinarData centre projects are often delivered under a condensed programme with success measured by power-on, performance, and operational reliability rather than traditional notions of completion. This episode explores how early design decisions, responsibility allocation, programme, and commissioning directly influence cost, delay, and dispute outcomes. The session is aimed at developers, contractors, consultants, legal advisers, and insurers involved in complex data centre delivery.

What is Impact Biomechanics?
On-Demand Educational WebinarImpact biomechanics applies principles of mechanics, engineering, and biology to understand how the human body responds to forces and accelerations. This presentation provides a brief history of the field and shows how forensic impact biomechanics uses human‑tolerance data, crash testing, computer modelling, and medical evidence to investigate accidents and safety issues across different industries. Through real-life examples, the presentation will demonstrate how knowledge of biomechanics has been used to reconstruct injury mechanisms by examining vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, tissue tolerance, and injury patterns. It also highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, sound scientific methods, and engineering judgment in addressing complex problems related to litigation, regulation, and public safety.

Vehicle Accident Reconstruction
On-Demand Educational WebinarVehicle Accident Reconstruction is a comprehensive one-hour presentation designed to help attendees learn more about the information they can gather from a vehicle accident and how it can be used after the fact to reconstruct the accident. The course discusses the “whens and whys” of accident reconstruction, what information can be obtained from an accident, and how that information is analyzed. Both single- and multi-vehicle accidents are discussed, and a video presentation is used to illustrate three-dimensional animation and its benefit in presenting a reconstruction for settlement or litigation.
