Grain being transferred into holding

Don’t Get Rubbed the Wrong Way

The U.S. exports about 4 million bushels of grain a year, including wheat, rice, corn, soy and other commodities. Grain is typically transferred by rail from farming areas to shipping terminals located on the coast or major waterways. The grain is temporarily stored in silos at the grain terminal...

Hazardous Operations Analysis (HAZOP)

Industrial fires, facility explosions and equipment breakdowns that result in large loss insurance claims often require engineering investigations to determine the cause of the loss. These investigations may also determine the value of the loss, the cost to repair or replace damaged equipment and the business interruption timeline.

Grapes fermenting for wine

Sour Grapes

Here in Northern California, we find ourselves fortunate to live in the middle of Wine Country. Within a few miles of our homes, we find ourselves among rolling hillside vineyards and a multitude of wineries and tasting rooms. This proximity has resulted in our involvement with losses in the wine industry. While the losses we have investigated cover the gamut from injury in the vineyard or winery, to fires, to machinery breakdowns, to packaging, what we’d like to touch on here are losses involving potential contamination of wine products.
