The BP Compensation Fund is the financial trust created to compensate those affected by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The BP Compensation Fund provides money to those who participated in the cleanup, those who were affected by the spill, those whose businesses were adversely affected by the spill and cleanup, and communities whose economies were affected. Do you have a health condition arising from your contact with the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill? Did you participate in the cleanup effort or come into contact with dispersants? Did you lease your boat to the cleanup effort? You may be entitled to a portion of settlement funds.
If you believe that your acute or chronic health condition entitles you to some of the BP Deepwater Horizon settlement, having experienced counsel help you attain your fair share is critical. Barrett Law has expertise in BP Oil Spill litigation and has the experience to help you through this process. Contact us now at (601) 790-1505.
Options for Those Deserving Compensation from the BP Oil Spill Settlement Fund
If you are owed your fair share of compensation as a result of the 2010 BP Oil Spill, its cleanup, and its aftermath, you must first submit a “proof of claim” form. You must submit your form to the BP Oil Spill Claims Administrator, the administrative body tasked with deciding who receives payment, who does not, and how much anyone receives. Our office can help you fill out this form, even if deadlines have passed or if the Claims Administrator has previously denied your claims. Appeal processes exist, but you will need the help of an experienced BP Oil Spill attorney to help you successfully navigate the appeals process. Your application or appeal documentation must include all documentation of property damage or medical bills associated with your claim.
If the Claims Administrator does not accept your claim, you can still file a notice of intent to sue. This is a step that requires the help of an experienced BP Oil Spill attorney, as it will require a significant number of legal filings in the appropriate courts.
Regardless of whether your claim is accepted or you are forced to sue, you will have the option to mediate your case. In mediation, the parties speak more frankly and try to find a middle ground upon which to settle the case.
What Should You Do If You Were Injured or Harmed By the 2010 BP Oil Spill?

If you were injured or developed a health condition as a result of the spill or its cleanup, you are due compensation for your medical costs, loss of work, and ongoing pain and suffering. You may have heard that it is too late to file a claim or that there is no longer a way to attain compensation for your damages. You may also be able to submit a new application if your earlier attempts were unsuccessful.
