Burning Oil RigMaking a BP Oil Spill Claim

Many don’t even know they qualify to claim from the settlement

Every Floridian remembers the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.  Every night the news covered the effects of the BP oil spill on the environment and the economy.  Many Florida businesses were impacted and suffered losses.  As a result of a settlement with BP, many Florida residents who qualify, are entitled to make a claim for the negative impacts of the oil spill.

Who, “qualifies” to make a BP Oil Spill claim is a somewhat complicated matter.  To make it simple, any business in a Gulf Coast County (i.e. Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, etc) qualifies.  Any person who receives income on a 1099 (an independent contractor) is entitled to make a claim.  Even a business that did not exist and was created after the oil spill is entitled to make a claim.  Corporations, LLC’s, partnerships, 1099 independent contractors, all qualify.  Even if you don’t think you, “lost” income from the spill, you may still be entitled to recovery because of the loss of revenue to the entire state of Florida.Obviously, when making a claim, some supporting documents are necessary.  Better records provide better support for the claim.  However, we can use bank statements alone to determine the gross revenue and determine if a claim is viable.  Getting bank statements is easy and can result in determining if you have a viable claim.  Quite simply, there is no reason not to explore your rights under the terms of the settlement.  We will not know if you qualify without doing the legal work and financial review necessary to carefully analyze the facts of your claim.The Law Office of Dario Diaz is working with industry leaders in the BP claim process.  We will perform an initial determination based on initial documents that are easy to gather and assemble.  THE PROCESS COSTS YOU NOTHING!  We work on a contingency fee basis, which means if we are not successful in recovering money for your business from BP, you do not pay us any fees or costs.  There are no up front costs for you, period.Call us today at 813-259-1017 to discuss your BP claim and how we might be able to assist you in recovering.
