We have successfully recovered millions of dollars in claims settlements, protecting our clients for almost every conceivable loss ...

• Earthquake damage to a terminal and the consequent demurrage costs of routing ships to other ports.
• Fires at offshore platforms, refineries and gas stations with extensive property damage and business interruption costs
• Operators' extra expense from blowouts at drill sites.
• Mudslide damage to a pipeline, and the additional costs of its re-routing when the geology became unsafe.
• Products liability - allegation that our client's bunker fuels caused damage to ship's engines. Drawing on our prior experience, we were able to go back through the "chain of causation" and prove the defects were caused by our client's suppliers.
• Products liability - allegation that the MTBE additive in the gasoline refined by our client had caused injuries to people in a rural community by contaiminating their ground water.
• Marine liability - an oil tanker chartered by our client spilled oil; our client had contributory liability under federal and state law; we had entered our client as a charterer into a P & I Club which assumed defense and other costs
• Cargo claims for unexplained disappearance of oil
• Environmental liability - for government-mandated cleanup of hydrocarbon contamination at refineries and terminals.
• Truck spills and accidents
• Credit risk - client's customer defaulted on the payment due on a contract for several hundred thousand dollars
