Posts, Phones, and Prompts: From Social Media to AI — And How To Get The Evidence
November 18, 2026 at 10:00am CTFor years, the standard requests in a claim or lawsuit were a Facebook profile and cell phone records. Both leave most of the picture out. Presented by a digital forensics expert and an attorney, this webinar follows the evidence from posts to phones to prompts. It covers where social media evidence lives beyond Facebook, including TikTok, Snapchat, Venmo and Life360, and what call detail records cannot show and the phone can, with the practical steps for getting each. The session closes on the newest source: AI chat history. Attendees will learn what to ask a claimant or witness to establish AI use and how to preserve and request their prompts. Most people assume those chats are private. They may be discoverable.

Evaluating Axle Fires in Commercial Vehicle Losses
On-Demand Educational WebinarThis one-hour course examines wheel-end thermal events in heavy-duty vehicles (semi-tractors, trailers, box trucks, and buses). Participants review common causes—brake drag, bearing distress, and underinflated tires—and how these create sustained heat that can spread to nearby components. The course covers key axle and wheel-end parts, plus a brief air brake system overview, and uses real-world examples to highlight indicators and documentation practices relevant to origin and cause analysis.
