BP OIL SPILL SETTLEMENT

BP OIL SPILL SETTLEMENT
best thing for everyone in our state to do is to hire a good lawyer to make a claim in the new bp settlement and see if you, your property or your business qualifies, and, if not, stay involved as there are still a lot of positive things going on in the BP litigation in NOLA that will lead to BP and the other companies, transocean and halliburton, paying to make people and properties whole and helping with future restoration of our state. i am an avid outdoorsman as well and coastal property owner. most people do not realize how well the suit against these companies is proceeding in NOLA and the good that will come from it. most people also do not realize the magnitude of the recent settlement and how many people and businesses in louisiana, miss, alabama and florida qualify for recovery. if you own property or leased property for more than 60 days along the coast of louisiana, miss, alabama or florida and you are near the gulf or a body of water attached to the gulf you may recover, but you should hire a lawyer who knows what he/she is doing and make a claim. also, if you had boats that worked in the cleanup efforts for bp or one of bp's subs then you can get more money for your vessels regardless of whether they were put to work or not. clean up workers can also recover more money as well as coastal residents. also, every business and individual in louisiana (yes, even north louisiana), miss or alabama who meet certain loss revenue/income patterns or is in certain industries (seafood, tourism, restaurants, etc.) can recover. this settlement is very very broad and includes the entire state. broader than most people think. call a lawyer involved in the BP case and see if you qualify to make a claim. if you don't qualify now then keep up on the status of the suit in NOLA because you may qualify later for another form of settlement or other recovery. all of this will help our state and the people, businesses and properties that have been affected. if you want to help our state and economy to get a shot in the arm then talk to a BP lawyer in Louisiana and see if you can make a claim. if you have questions you can call 337-296-6799 or 337-233-1987.

^^^^

Less all jump on the bandwagon and run BP and all the other oil companies, THAT PAY MOST OF OUR SALARIES, out of the state. Heck we don't need them, we can live off the lawsuits and government the rest of our lives.

BP

Yea Marshrat I agree... Sounds like a lawyer to me!!! I know a lot of commercial fisherman, BP has compensated everybody that I know way more than they expected... I understand that some peple and businesses did actually suffer, and for those who played by the rules I think BP has taken care of them... I also understand that the whole blowout should have and could have been prevented, but come on, enough is enough!!

Lawsuit

I think if you had damage from the oil spill, whether property or financial, I think you already know.

If you have to pick up a phone to call and 'see IF' you qualify, then you probably don't deserve a dime.

Its all the people that jump on the bandwagon trying to get all they can for free, that makes it tough for the people that truely deserve compensation to get what they are owed.

...if someone gets into a accident you just don't let them lay there an bleed while waiting on an insurance settlement...I feel the Feds and the State could have done more in the early stages and repaid on the back end...there were some agencies that could have turned loose millions in low cost loans,yet they left it sit while many people exhausted savings or were forced to sell property...considering reputation there are lots of full freezers with washed money...cheers

settlement

Wouldn't you think the fact that BP hired most of the guides @ 1560 a day would be compensation.
