The BP Oil Spill and Your Legal Rights

Although the long-term consequences remain unknown, it has been estimated that the spill has already caused billions of dollars in financial losses. It is important that property and business owners, from vacation rental property and condo owners to casino and restaurant owners, understand their legal rights.

Our oil spill lawyers understand how damaging environmental contamination can be to a community’s economic welfare and have experience working with complex environmental contamination legal issues. We already represent oil spill victims who are waiting to receive funds from claims filed with the GCCF or are struggling with the status of their claim approvals.

Several companies potentially responsible for the oil spill, including BP, have offered final financial compensation to many people and businesses. These checks, however, may be inadequate to compensate people and businesses for their real losses because, for many, the extent of the harm will not be determinable for months or even years to come. It is important to be cautious if a company encourages the signing of documents that waive or restrict future recovery. Doing so could dramatically affect the amount of money that may ultimately be received.
