BP recently agreed to pay thousands of business owners, Gulf Coast property owners and individuals billions of dollars in compensation relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of April 20, 2010. The lawyers at The Ladd Firm have deep roots in the Gulf Coast area. We believe the BP Oil Spill claims process is an important step toward restoration of the Gulf Coast economy after the oil spill.
The Economic Loss Zones for the settlement include the ENTIRE states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana and portions of Florida and Texas. The real estate-related zones include many properties that are not directly on or near the beach. Do not assume that you are outside a settlement zone. If you would like to know whether you are included in the settlement, contact us for assistance.
Many business owners incorrectly assume that they do not have a claim. Even businesses that experienced overall profit growth in 2010 may be entitled to substantial compensation. You only need to show that revenues were down for a few months between May 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, to qualify. If you are interested in finding out whether your business has a claim, please call us.
The Ladd Firm has a client-focused approach to BP claims preparation. We want to make the process as easy as possible for you. We will work with you and your support staff or other financial or real estate professionals to obtain the documents necessary to support your claim.
