FOCUSING ON OUR CLIENTS: Problem > Action > Solution

We have attracted and retained our clients for years because we make their problems our problems to solve. We have made hundreds of claims and recovered millions of dollars for our clients.

• Earthquake damage to storage tanks in a terminal and the consequent demurrage costs of re-routing ships to other ports
• Fire at a refinery — property damage, business interruption and extra expense
• Operators extra expense — Blowout at a drill site
• Mudslide caused pipeline on a hillside to break; when replaced it had to be
  re-routed several miles around the top of the hillside
• Products liability — allegation that client's marine bunker fuels caused damage to ship's engine
• Products liability — allegation that the MTBE additive in the gasoline refined by our client had caused injuries to people in a rural community by contaminating the groundwater
• Marine liability — crude oil spill caused by the ship owner; our client had a charter party contract, and state law held them partly responsible
• Cargo — unexplained leakage of crude oil from a storage terminal
• Environmental liability — cleanup of hydro-carbon contamination at refinery and terminals
• Credit risk — client's customer defaulted on payment due on a contract for several hundred thousand dollars
• Political risk — a foreign government imposed an embargo and cancelled licenses of U.S. companies
• …and countless workers compensation accidents, robberies, employee thefts, "slips and falls" and just about every accident that can be insured…
