Modern Fire Risks in a Changing Technology Landscape

Understanding EV, Solar, and Lithium-Ion Losses to Strengthen Claims Evaluation

As technology evolves, so do fire risks. Electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and solar energy systems are increasingly involved in complex losses that require specialized knowledge and careful investigation. This webinar examines how modern fire incidents differ from traditional losses and what that means for claims professionals. We’ll explore how lithium-ion battery failures present uniquely, including thermal runaway events and re-ignition risks. The session will also address solar panel–related fires, inverter malfunctions, and wiring hazards that can complicate origin and cause determinations. Attendees will gain practical guidance on evidence preservation and documentation strategies specific to technology-driven losses—ensuring accurate evaluations, stronger claims handling, and better protection of potential recovery opportunities.
