This webinar will cover three learning objectives.

First, it will review information that is both recorded and communicated wirelessly on modern vehicles. The information includes event data recorded by on-board passenger car and heavy truck modules (air bag modules, powertrain control modules, active safety control modules, engine control modules), OEM systems (subscription services, Tesla, infotainment systems), and after-market devices (GPS, fleet monitoring, telematics, dash cams).

Second, the webinar will review the ownership of this information, how this information is accessed, who can access it and how it can be deleted.

Third, this webinar will review the utility of this information, how it can be used to reconstruct event circumstances and the importance of doing so.

Structural failures can arise from a variety of causes, including construction deficiencies, environmental factors, and code compliance issues. In this webinar, our experts will present case studies involving foundation movement, vehicle impact, retaining wall failure, moisture damage, and roof collapses. Participants will learn how forensic investigations identify root causes, determine liability, and guide effective repair strategies.

Modern vehicles generate extensive electronic data that is critical in insurance claim investigations. This one-hour webinar covers key data sources—including engine fault codes, event data recorders, telematics, infotainment systems, and ADAS—and shows, through case studies, how this information can reconstruct collisions, assess driver behavior, verify claims, and detect fraud. Participants will gain practical insight into the strengths and limitations of vehicle data and how it applies to passenger cars, commercial trucks, and non-conventional vehicles.

We’ve put together a series of 4 sessions to cover topics including the basics of evidence collection and how we reconstruct a collision, to what data we can get from vehicles, to pedestrian, motorcycle and nighttime impacts, along with several other topics. Each session will focus on a particular topic, and experts from our offices across the country will present and answer questions from participants. Some of our experts will be covering a variety of topics including low-speed impacts, seatbelt assessments, slips, trips and falls, falls from heights and various other injuries they typically see.

We’ve put together a series of 4 sessions to cover topics regarding the basics of property losses. Topics such as water losses including component failures and sprinkler systems, building system failures from cladding to installation to damage and remediation, and fire investigations, along with several other topics will be covered. Each session will focus on a particular topic, and experts from our offices across the country will present and answer questions from participants. Our experts will be covering the basics of plumbing systems, failure types including freezing, corrosion, chemical issues, manufacturing defects and more.

Topics such as water losses including component failures and sprinkler systems, building system failures from cladding to installation to damage and remediation, and fire investigations, along with several other topics will be covered. Our experts will be covering the Origin and Cause investigations from start to finish. Exploring fire classification, electrical failures, types of residential fires (from cooking to balcony, HVAC and dryers) and potential subrogation avenues.

In multi-unit residential complexes, such as condominium buildings, product failures or installation issues in one unit may be indicators of potential issues existing in other units. Given that these losses often involve various areas of expertise, CEP Forensic has developed a webinar series dedicated to them.

The second session in this series will address problems related to building mechanics and materials. Our experts will discuss plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning issues, as well as commonly used materials and their weaknesses. The various case studies featured in the presentation will help you fully understand what types of mechanical elements are found in multi-unit residential buildings and learn more about their manufacturing materials. Our engineers will also identify mechanical components that are most likely to be problematic.

Tackling injury claims due to motor vehicle collisions are an enormous feat in the world of insurance. Every collision is unique, and the questions that are posed after an impact can be difficult to answer. What are the chances of an occupant sustaining a specific injury? Is it possible that the reported injury was pre-existing? Is it likely that multiple occupants sustained multiple injuries? Injury biomechanics can complement a collision reconstruction and fill in the gaps between what happens to the vehicle and the resulting occupant dynamics. The examples and case studies used in this webinar will address the indicators of low collision severity and injury red flags to provide you with some of the knowledge needed to detect potentially exaggerated or fraudulent injury claims.

Generally, it is best practice to keep flammable liquids away from sources of ignition; however, when we think of a vehicle engine, that simply is not always possible. The entire intent of a combustion engine is to burn fuel, and that gets hot. So hot that it can even ignite coolant, brake or steering fluids if they come into contact.

In this webinar, CEP experts will review failure modes that lead to fluid leaks, and the multiple questions to keep in mind when exploring the cause and origin of a vehicle fire.

In this course we will be discussing slips, trips and falls from a biomechanical and technical perspective. We will cover the biomechanics of the human walking gait, as well as slip and fall movements, and discuss the factors, conditions and common facility issues that may lead to slip and trip incidents. We will also introduce the steps involved with an engineering investigation of a slip, trip and fall claim and cover the information adjusters should consider documenting in the early stages of such claims. This webinar will conclude with case studies that illustrate a biomechanical engineering assessment of slip, trip and fall investigations.

Recreational vehicles (RVs) face a range of potential damages, from structure failures due to rough terrain, overloading, or fabrication, and design deficiencies to moisture-related issues affecting the building envelope components. This course will explore how different engineering disciplines, such as structural, mechanical and materials engineering, for analysis and accident reconstruction, come together to determine the cause of damages to RV claims.

Attendees will learn about common failure mechanisms, how to differentiate between gradual wear and sudden impact damage, and the best practices for assessing and resolving RV related claims. Join us for a technical discussion on the challenges of investigating RV losses.

When a vehicle collides into a building, assessing and repairing the damage is more complex than it may seem. This course will explore the critical steps involved in ensuring structural safety, evaluating impact-related damage, and developing effective repair strategies.

Our experts will discuss immediate safety considerations and stabilization techniques, how to assess structural damage and differentiate between new and pre-existing issues, challenges posed by different building materials and construction methods, and best practices for restoring structural integrity.
