BP claims Process
People that have been affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster have had to face a very tough time. These people need to regain their financial position of stability and have to ensure that they get proper compensation for the losses that they have suffered. They must therefore rush to file their BP claims to obtain proper compensation. The good news is that they are protected by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 which makes it necessary for BP to pay compensation to all victims of the disaster for losses that they have incurred on account of lost income and lost wages as well as lost revenue.
If you are serious about filing your BP claims then you must get in touch with the Gulf Coast Claim Facility or the GCCF. The good news is that the procedures involved are quite easy and you can file your claim on your own and without needing to hire an attorney.
However, in case of denied BP claims you may be forced to hire an attorney to help you fight for your rights. Some people have received BP claims denied notices. Such notices are normally issued to people that have failed to provide proper documentation.
The GCCF, for its part, has also made an attempt at settling claims for as low an amount of money as they can. This is not good news for those victims that have filed BP claims and who are depending on the compensation money to help them pay their mortgages and other bills.
Some desperate people that have filed BP claims have even been forced to accept low compensation. They are certainly missing out on an opportunity because by waiting they will stand a better chance of receiving a higher compensation amount.
The best way to ensure that you get the proper amount of compensation from BP is by furnishing all the documents and also by hiring a good attorney to follow through with your case.
GCCF has been paying money to certain claimants among whom deck hands and captains of charter boats are receiving adequate compensation. A deckhand is receiving up to sixty thousand dollars by way of compensation while charter boat captains are receiving between four and five times that amount to cover for future losses.
Even oyster men are receiving good amounts of money and can expect to receive up to six times their losses in the year 2010. If you have oyster leases or even a boat, then you should rush to file your BP claims to get as much compensation money as you possibly can.
