Spanish term or phrase: empieza y acaba, en cada siniestro.
En todo caso, la responsabilidad tanto de X como de Y empieza y acaba, en cada siniestro. X handles claims management for Y insurance company. Can anyone explain what la responsabilidad empieza y acaba en cada siniestro means please?

English translation:begins and ends in each case
Explanation:
I understand the meaning as "every case is a world unto itself". (I'm using "case" to express the insurance claim, although 9 times out of 10 they will be accidents).

siniestro2 m (frml) (accidente) accident; (causado por una fuerza natural) disaster, catastrophe; acudió al lugar del siniestro she visited the scene of the accident (o the
disaster area etc); el coche fue declarado siniestro total the car was declared a total wreck (AmE) o (BrE) a write-off

I.e. the liability in each insurance claim starts and ends in with the same and does not extend to other cases. (I see it as rather stating the obvious).
