BP Oil Spill Claims
BP Oil Spill Disaster
If your business or livelihood has been affected by the disastrous oil spill created by BP, please contact us for assistance. Our law firm works directly on these claims and with other national law firms to help people through the claims process and take the action justice requires.
Under the terms of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”), BP is liable for damages caused by the spill in the form of lost profits, impairment of earning capacity, and actual damage to property. The first avenue of recovery under OPA is called an interim claim. The processing of interim claims is required by OPA and is designed to compensate for short-term damages.
Payments received under interim claims are to be for partial settlement only and are not supposed to prevent anyone from recovering full losses later on. If you seek our assistance, we will encourage you to pursue the interim claim process on your own, as we believe you will receive a payment more quickly. We will advise you as needed and then proceed to prepare and pursue your full claim.
Full claims are presented under OPA once the true extent of your losses and damage can be adequately determined based on the information you supply together with information from your accountants, ant other advisors. If we are retained as your counsel, we will pursue those claims and any other claims we believe will serve to bring about a just result.
At this stage, the procedures and legal remedies are still developing. Contact us today at 1-800-LAW IN FL (529-4635) for a free legal consultation, or complete the contact form on this page and one of our representatives will be in touch with you.
