BP Oil Spill Claims

BP OIL SPILL - YOUR DAMAGED PROPERTY, LOST INCOME & OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS

On April 20, 2010 the Transocean rig Deepwater Horizon exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. A government panel estimates the well leaked at a rate of 60,000 to 100,000 barrels of oil per day through July 15, 2010. This is the equivalent of about one Exxon Valdez spill every three days.

BP, the owner of the leaking Gulf of Mexico Macondo well, is responsible for economic and other damages relating to this disaster pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and other laws. Damages include, but are not limited to, the Cost of Cleaning Up the Spill and damages to the Natural Resources, Real and Personal Property, Subsistence Use, Revenues, Profits and Earning Capacity and Public Services.

Fishing Guides, Commercial Fishermen, Tour Guides, Tourist Hotels, Condominium Owners, Fish Processors, Cannery Operators, Seafood Restaurants, their Laid Off Employees and anyone who depends on a clean environment will suffer. Some have even already lost their livelihood.

If there is oil related damage to any real estate or personal property, any person can recover for his or her related loss of profits, loss of income and other economic loss. You do not have to own the oil covered property to pursue your economic loss claim. Claims may be submitted to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility for payment of eligible and corroborated claims.

"I have been working as shrimper for several years. Because of the BP Oil Spill, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration closed the areas of the Gulf of Mexico where I usually shrimp. Several members of my crew made Oil Pollution Act wage loss claims against BP. BP denied their claims and most still haven't received a check. Instead of handling my Oil Pollution Act claim on my own, I hired attorney Charles E Lavis Jr to pursue the claim. Mr. Lavis and his staff assisted me in gathering together documents for proving my claim and presented the claim to BP for payment. My first check arrived less than thirty days from the date I hired Mr. Lavis. I was not required to sign any BP settlement documents. I would recommend Mr. Lavis to anyone who is having trouble with his BP Oil Spill claim."
