On April 20, 2010, British Petroleum's (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil rig located in the Gulf of Mexico violently exploded leading to the death of eleven rig workers and potentially the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history. The environmental and economic impacts of this manmade disaster are being felt from the delicate wetlands of the Gulf Coast to the sandy beaches of Florida. In the coming months the damage to the fishing and tourism industries alone will reach into the tens of billions of dollars.
BP has now agreed to set aside at least $20 billion dollars to begin the claims process for those affected by the oil spill. However, in an attempt to minimize its financial exposure, BP has also gone on record that it would only honor what it deems to be "legitimate claims." It is therefore imperative that you understand your rights and obligations before submitting your claim to BP.
