The news has been quite unforgiving regarding the event that happened not so long ago and that is still very vivid in many peoples minds. Yes, I am talking about the oil spill that BP is responsible for and it has been decided by the law that the one that will take the full blame is the company itself, which now faces loses of hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of this terrible accident there were and still are a lot of people that are filing bp claims in order to be paid for the things that they have lost.
If you are also one of the, then you will not have to have too many worries, as the government has immediately acknowledged the situation and has forced BP to pay for everything that has happened due to their fault. There is also an Oil Pollution act that has been signed in the 1990 stating that if any corporation will disrupt the environmental health and cause damage to humans in any way due to hazardous substances, that certain company will be liable to pay for everything that is necessary in order to have things back to normal again.
Due to this dire situation, there are a lot of offices that BP has set up in many different cities, so that everyone will be able to make their claims as soon as possible and get to be compensated for their loses. So, now, you will be able to make a claim easily by email, through the internet or by fax. Such ways of making GCCF Claims has been maximized in order to have the whole process speeded up and people to get what they deserve.
For cleaning the affected and damaged areas, the one which will have the duty to clean them up is also BP and also pay compensations in case if loss of income has been proved, for the net lost earning capacity, for property damage, the cost of the increased public services and so forth.
There are though many chances that these people will need to wait for years in order to get what is rightfully theirs, back. So in this case scenario, you will need to hire an oil spill lawyer and he will guide you through the process and will make sure that you will end up triumphant in the battle against BP.
Do make sure you listen to what your lawyer advises you to do and say carefully in order to be compensated by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
