| Business Interruption — Oil Refinery Pipeline Rupture |
We were retained by the defendant, a large energy company, to assess damages related to a pipeline rupture, which occurred
at a major oil refinery in the Pacific Northwest. The rupture allegedly affected the refinery production levels for a two year period
of time. The plaintiff's claim was in excess of $500,000,000. We evaluated damages for business interruption related to lost
or reduced production, increased transportation cost and several other elements of damages. We prepared an alternative
damage analysis and demonstrated that the plaintiff had substantially overstated its damages. We provided deposition testimony
and assisted with the depositions of the plaintiff's experts. The matter settled favorably after the deposition phase.
