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.

If These Walls Could Talk: Exterior Systems, Maintenance, and Failures
On-Demand Educational WebinarYour building’s exterior walls have a story to tell — and knowing how to read it can save your association from costly surprises. This one-hour course gives attendees a practical foundation in exterior wall systems: how they’re constructed, how they’re supposed to perform, and the warning signs that something has gone wrong. With a focus on structural issues specific to community association properties, this course bridges the gap between what contractors tell you and what you actually need to know to make confident, informed decisions on behalf of your community.

Subrogation Opportunities in Environmental Claims
On-Demand Educational WebinarSubrogation Opportunities in Environmental Claims is a one-hour course that helps insurance professionals identify when liability for a contamination event may extend beyond a single carrier. Participants will learn how causation investigations can reveal other responsible parties, review common subrogation scenarios, and examine cases where remediation missteps worsened damage. Case studies illustrate these concepts and the range of professional disciplines involved.
-
Data Centers: Energy Systems, Fire Risk, and Liability Concerns
On-Demand Educational WebinarThis one-hour course covers forensic and engineering considerations for data center energy systems. Attendees will examine how power architecture, UPS/battery systems, cooling, and grid integration can drive operational disruptions, fire risk, and liability exposure, using a real-world data center fire case study to explore failure mechanisms and investigative approaches. The course also addresses emerging trends—like rising power density and AI workloads—and their impact on risk and investigations.

But What Will it Cost? – Analyzing Surety Performance Bond Claims
On-Demand Educational WebinarThis course covers Cost to Complete (CTC) analysis for bonded construction projects following a termination or justified claim. Participants will learn how sureties use CTC to set loss reserves, assess exposure against the bond’s penal sum, and choose a completion strategy—whether managing the defaulted principal, engaging a replacement contractor, reletting the contract, or settling via the penal sum. The course also explains how CTC is calculated, weighing remaining contract balances and change orders against anticipated completion costs (construction, unpaid earned funds, general conditions, fees, liquidated damages, and contingencies).
