Evaluating Axle Fires in Commercial Vehicle Losses
August 26, 2026 at 10:00am CTEvaluating Axle Fires in Commercial Vehicle Losses is a one-hour course that reviews wheel-end (“axle”) thermal events in heavy-duty vehicles such as semi-tractors, trailers, box trucks, and buses. Participants will examine common initiation scenarios, particularly overheated brakes (brake drag), bearing distress, and underinflated tires, and how these conditions can create sustained heat at the wheel end that may involve adjacent tire and vehicle components. The course includes an overview of major axle and wheel-end components and an air brake system walkthrough (supply and control functions) to explain how braking conditions can contribute to abnormal heat generation. Real-world style examples will be used to illustrate patterns, observable indicators, and documentation considerations that support an informed discussion of potential origin and contributing factors.

Subrogation Opportunities in Environmental Claims
On-Demand Educational WebinarSubrogation 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.

Beyond Warnings: Child Development, Caregiver Supervision, and Liability Defense
On-Demand Educational WebinarThis 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.
