Q: My boat was damaged by the BP oil spill. Is it covered under the OPA?
A: If you have sustained any damages as a direct result of the BP oil spill, you may be eligible to submit a claim. For example, if your boat was damaged, you may submit a claim which covers the loss due to the destruction of your property or the cost of restoring your boat to its pre-spill condition.
Information you must provide in your claim:
- Proof of ownership of the boat
