When people are involved in incidents resulting in injuries to themselves or others or damage to property, it is essential to understand how people's actions may or may not have contributed. Human Factors analysis can help evaluate if the subject incident may have been influenced by an individual's mental, perceptual, or physical responses, or lack thereof. This course covers multiple examples - from assessing available CCTV videos to building 3D demonstratives with physics-based motion to explain complex scenarios - to equip attendees with the necessary tools to understand the importance of assessing potential Human Factors aspects on a case.

Exotic vehicles by their very nature are high value exposures in the insurance context when considering the value of the vehicle and their potential for big liability claims. Insureds are also using these vehicles as a money maker because they are relatively easy to obtain and finance due to their appreciation in value. They are renting them out for profit to inexperienced drivers which is resulting in millions of claims dollars being paid out by unsuspecting Insurers. This course will help insurance adjusters detect these kinds of claims, investigate them, and defend them once claims are denied as most policies specifically exclude this kind of activity if not originally part of the underwriting review and disclosed at the time the policy is bound.

Comparatively speaking, restoration work costs today are significantly greater than they were ten years ago. This is due primarily to inflated restoration estimates with high profit margins, some of which fall into the category of insurance fraud.
