How to Claim BP claims?
The seriousness of the Deepwater Horizon oil spillage has forced the US Federal Government into holding BP (British Petroleum) responsible for compensating all the victims of this tragic disaster. Many people have lost their income and wages as well as their revenues and these people are being asked to file BP claims.
The oil spill occurred in April of 2010 but even today people are waiting to have their BP claims cleared. BP has set up numerous offices to expedite the processing of these BP claims but victims are still waiting to be paid. As a victim of this oil spill disaster you will be advised to file your claim directly to these different claims offices.
The amount of money that you will receive by way of compensation will be determined by investigators and adjustors that are working for BP.
There are three different types of BP claims which are:
• Bodily injury claims
• Property damage
• Loss of income
If you have been injured because of the oil spill disaster you can then file your BP claim in order to receive compensation. To receive compensation you must provide necessary documentation without which you may end up receiving BP claims denied notices.
The main reason that people receive denied BP claims notices is lack of proper and complete documentation. Therefore, if filing for compensation for injury you will need to provide medical bills, letters from your doctor and related documents.
If you are filing BP claims for damage to your property then you will need to fill up your claim form and provide a statement regarding the costs involved. If you have spent your money or getting your property repaired, renovated or if you have had to pay to get your boat cleaned then you are entitled to receive full compensation from BP. The only thing that BP is not liable to compensate you for is losses on account of emotional upheaval. This means that you are not entitled to receive any money for being depressed on account of the losses caused by the tragedy.
In most cases, BP pays you an interim payment provided your claim forms are complete and the conditions have been verified. You can obtain compensation from the BP claims office in your state. To receive your final payment from BP you may have to wait for a longer period of time because BP needs to investigate and also estimate the amount of money that you should be paid by way of compensation.
