As the use of golf cars and other low-speed vehicles continues to grow, so do the risks associated with their design, maintenance, and aftermarket modifications. One of the most significant concerns? Fire hazards—often linked to lithium-ion battery conversions, improper wiring, and charging issues.

In this episode of Subro Sense, Partner and Host Aaron Jacobs welcomes Tim Martin of Rimkus to explore the mechanics of golf cars, common causes of fires, and the legal challenges involved in pursuing claims related to these incidents. Tune in for key insights!

Throughout the last few years, the notion of solar energy has become more prevalent in just about every walk of our lives. We see solar energy in homes; solar energy is now utilized by local utility companies and private individuals. It's an industry that promises incredible growth over the next several years, but this can also lead to increased property claims and subrogation opportunities concerning solar energy systems.

In this episode of Subro Sense, Partner and Host Aaron Jacobs is joined by Tim Dowden and Ben Daee of J.S. Held as they discuss the future of solar energy systems and potential subrogation opportunities.

As subrogation professionals, it is sometimes easy to direct our concentration on the liability issues in each case and to overlook the details associated with the damages and first-party claim adjustment. That said, in most cases, it is beneficial to conduct a thorough evaluation of the legally recoverable damages during the early stages of the subrogation investigation. An error in the proper calculation of the recoverable portion of a business interruption loss could drastically affect the overall settlement value of a case.

We are thrilled to be joined on this episode by Bill Gruhler, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Ivera Group.
