BP Oil Spill Claims Aggressive & Honest Representation

BP Oil Spill Settlement Claims Attorney

Suffered Losses from the BP Oil Spill?

The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, 2010 and the resulting oil spill is one of the largest environmental disasters in the history of the United States. Thousands of businesses and individuals throughout Weston and other states sharing a coastline on the Gulf of Mexico sustained substantial economic losses due to the BP Oil Spill.

The oil spill also caused health problems among cleanup workers and those who lived or worked in the area where the spill occurred. British Petroleum (BP) and other companies involved in the drilling and exploration of the well that poured millions of gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the explosion have reached a Settlement that pays those who participate for the losses and damage.

The deadline to submit certain types of claims with the Settlement (i.e. Seafood Compensation Program claims such as commercial fishermen, shrimpers, oystermen, crabbers) has already passed except in very limited circumstances, and the deadline to submit Business Economic Loss claims and Individual Economic Loss claims with the Settlement is running out soon, so if you or your business was affected by the spill, now is the time to take action. Contact Rash Mueller for help with your BP oil spill claim. Our leading attorneys has more than 40 years of collective legal experience representing clients injured by oil spills and other mass catastrophes.

Compensation for BP Oil Spill Losses

BP oil spill lawyers are bringing many of the lawsuits arising out of the Deepwater Horizon incident under the United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Since this Act imposes a three-year statute of limitations, it will be difficult or impossible to take legal action once three years have passed from the April 20, 2010 disaster. If you and/or your business has not properly opted out of the Settlement and timely filed a lawsuit before April 20, 2013, and you and/or your business is a class member, it is imperative to submit a claim with the Settlement immediately.

Further, a statute of limitations exists in all personal injury and negligence tort claims, so you should not hesitate to consult an attorney if you have sustained personal or economic injuries as a result of the BP oil spill. Attorneys at Rash Mueller can help you pursue your claim to recover compensation.

BP Oil Spill Settlement Claims Eligible for Compensation

The Settlement pays out compensation claims submitted by those individuals and businesses who sustained losses as a result of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and ensuing oil spill. Whether you can participate in the Settlement and can submit a claim depends on your or your businesses’ location. Settlement funds may be available to you if you are eligible to make a claim.

Losses that are eligible for payment from the Settlement fund include:

  • Business economic losses: Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the spill.
  • Seafood industry claims: Individuals and businesses involved in any aspect of the seafood industry, from fisherman to retail distributors to seafood restaurants. However, the deadline has passed for filing these types of claims absent certain very limited circumstances.
  • Damage to coastal or wetlands property: Individuals who own coastal or wetland property and long-term lessees who sustained losses due to the spill.
  • Periodic or festival vendors who suffered losses as a result of the spill.
  • Vessel owners whose vessels sustained physical damage.
  • Cleanup workers who sustained health problems as a result of their work mitigating the spill.
  • Area residents: Those who resided or worked in the area of the spill who are experiencing health issues.

Although they couldn’t help me with my case..Leading up to the decision lori kept in contact, showed empathy, was straight forward with all detail!

I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, the listen and the put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!

    "I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude."
    From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.
