Engineering a Claim: A RIVET Expert Series

A free, full-day educational event designed to give adjusters practical, real-world engineering insight to support stronger claim decisions.

The event will feature four one-hour, expert-led courses, each eligible for continuing education credit in Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of common claim-related engineering issues and learn how to more effectively identify, evaluate, and document them in the field.
