BP Claims – BP Settlement

You see the news about the BP Claims Settlement and you are trying to find out how you and your family get in on that to get paid for any claim you might have in connect to the BP oil spill. Well this post is to try and help you with any BP claims you might have that you could put into the settlement and how you apply for it.

First if you live on the beach there is a good chance that the BP oil spill had some impact on your paycheck or impact on your health as BP was spray Corexit all over the place to hide the oil from the media.

If you have a business on the water or in the tourist industry most likely you have claim for loss of future earnings. If you had a house you where renting out for tourist coming in for the summer, or where living in a house on the water in 2010 you have a claim. If you sold your house from May 2010 – December 2010 you have a claim. I could go on and on, so its important that you let an expect look at your situation and let them find all your claims.

What Do I Need To Do To File For My BP Claims Settlement ?

First off you have to get your claim into an attorney to go though the attorney BP settlement and the way you do that is to fill out a form with your contact information so the attorney can call you and talk to you about the possible claims you have. Don’t waist your time with a person that know of a person that can do it for you. I have had way to many phone calls from people that did not go with an attorney and are still waiting for payment. So go with an attorney on this you will be glad you did.

Once you have talked to the attorney and he has found your claims, its your turn to prove those claims with as much information as you have. The BP Claims settlement does allow for people getting paid that does not have all documentation, but the amount you will be paid is less. So get as much information to the attorney as you possibly can proving your case.

Once the attorney has gotten all your information his staff that are trained in disaster recovery will go though the claim and come up with a number of your losses and then add the multiplier to that number and that should be your BP settlement compensation. Once he is done he will submit it as an attorney claim against the BP settlement fund.

The BP settlement fund will understand that your claim was worked up by an attorney and your claim will get the special attention it needs from the BP Claims settlement fund.

The next thing you will know is the attorney will call you up with a number that the BP settlement has come back with to award you and you have the chance to accept that number and get a check.

The attorney will not be paid for his work before you get money from the BP settlement so no money out of pocket for you on this, only money coming in.

To get started fill out a form on this website and talk to an attorney about your claim today.

Shrimping Season Starts Today In Gulf OF Mexico

In other news the shrimping season are starting today in the Gulf of Mexico, in the areas still open for shrimping. The biggest problem we saw last week was the reports of shrimp being caught with out eyes and the waters around Alabama was closed down. Later in the week the government came out and said the reason for the closure was because of the shrimp being to small. I have seen enough episodes of 24 and hear enough to see when the government are trying to pull a fast one on us and I think that is the case here. So its something to keep and eye on. I will hear later today from seafood processors on how the catches where if there is any problems out there and I will let you guys know. If the shrimps are not out there in a condition where they can be caught and sold look out for the shrimp processors that already got a bad deal in the BP claims settlement with not getting the same multipliers as the shrimp harvesters. We will see how this one goes.

BP Claims Settlement Deadlines and Final Approval.

The BP Claims Settlement is not up for final approval until November 2012, and the money will be paid out starting on June 3 2012. So I expect we have 6 month to get as many people paid as possible before the BP claims settlement get busted on appeal. That is what most attorneys I talk to expect will happen, the BP claims settlement will not last through the appeals process. So its very important that people that want money from the settlement get their paperwork and claims into the attorneys now. After the BP claims settlement gets busted the trial or a new settlement will see the light of day. Nobody know the only thing that is certain is each time the money will get better for the really good business claims.

The news out today are the Deep Water Horizon Settlements will start on June 3 2012, just a short 3 weeks away. We are all very optimistic about this settlement and about people and business finally getting what they deserve from BP in regards to the oil spill and their economic loss that followed. The Deep Water Horizon Settlements will be transparent and over seen by the courts so there will be no GCCF trickery going on.

Deep Water Horizon Settlements Deadlines.

Again this is very very important. The opt out date for the BP settlement is October 1 2012, if you have not decided by that date to opt out you will forever be in the settlement. This is very important for many different groups of people.

First the people that are not included in the Deep Water Horizon Settlements has to opt out of the settlement before October 1 2012. Get an attorney a opt out even now so you don’t forget it.

The other group of people and business this is important for is all the people that gets transfered over to the Deep Water Horizon Settlement and get a bad offer back from the settlement fund, they need to not take that offer and opt out by October 1 2012. Lets say that you get an offer back for 10,000 but you should have gotten 100,000 if your case had been worked up properly by an attorney you can still opt out if you do it before October 1 2012.

Deep Water Horizon Settlements Economic Claims

Most people will not know they have multiple claims in the Deep Water Horizon Settlements, but they do and by having a good work up done those extra claims could amount to a great deal of money. You would have to submit different claims forms for different claims and if you are not aware of it nobody will tell you about it.

All the Deep Water Horizon Settlements information that I have put together is on BP Settlement website http://bpsettlement.co but trust me when I tell you its still a jungle and its very hard to find all the claims you might have in this settlement. You have to get an attorney to work up your claim and submit it to the Deep Water Horizon Settlements fund, that is the smart thing to do.

The judge did give pre-approval to the BP Claims Settlement Yesterday evening, so that means the clock has started to tick for the payout of the largest individual settlement in US history. This settlement is uncapped and the 8 billion that BP told its share holders it will cost will not be enough to pay this one off. The start up date for the BP Settlement fund will be June 3 2012 that gives everybody 1 month from today to get the paperwork into their attorney and get their claim rolling to the BP settlement fund.

Politics In The BP Claims Settlement

There are so many different groups that has opposed the BP settlement in the form its in now so why did the judge grant a pre-approval ? My personal believe is that by granting pre-approval and by BP agreeing to pay people under the BP settlement before it has gotten its final approval, this will get another section of the triangle paid off. The judge and most of the trial lawyers knows that this settlement will not hold up for approval in November. It will not hold up on appeal so that gives us exactly 6 month to get as much money from BP to as many people as possible that fits into the settlement. VOO boats, Tourist Business, Tourist employees, Seafood harvesters, Real estate sales, Oyster Leases. We need to get as many of these people processed and submitted to the BP settlement and pay by the settlement before November 2012.

When the BP settlement breaks apart in November the judge will have no choice but to send the rest of the cases not paid by the settlement back out to the individual districts and trial settings will be setup for each case.

I have tried to illustrate the payout on the BP oil spill by the triangle below.

I am not saying its bad money in the BP settlement as I do think for a lot of people in the seafood harvesting and tourist industry that people and business are getting a very fair compensation, but for people that have the money to stay in the big money are still waiting at the top of the triangle for good business cases and personal claims.

My BP Claim Does Not Fit The BP Settlement

After the GCCF transition process is over on June 3 2012, BP has to setup its new OPA (Oil pollution act) agent. It could be the GCCF again or it could be BP direct. But they have to setup some body or entity to file your claim with.

Actually they have to do it right now as there has to be an alternative to the BP settlement and people have to be able to file interim claims with BP for  money owed to them for their losses. Your BP claim that does not fit in the settlement has to be presented  to the responsible party (BP) and after 90 days they have to give you an offer or a denial before you can file suit against them.

This process will be going on for the Moratorium claims, for the BP Gas stations and anybody else that was excluded from the BP settlement. Think about all the people in Florida that did not live in a Gulf Of Mexico county and got excluded from the BP settlement but  have legitimate loss as a result of the BP oil spill. The Florida AG has already objected to the settlement because of the 10,000 business that where excluded in Florida because of the settlement only recognizing the certain “water” counties in Florida. There will be 100,000 of claims coming from all over Florida that will go though an attorney and going to trial against BP for their losses in 2010.

I have gotten a lot of question from people that ask me if they can do their BP settlement themselves.  My answer is yes you can do the BP settlement yourself, but you might as well go to Las Vegas and try your luck on the roulette.

That is about the gamble you will be taking when going into the BP settlement with out an attorney to guide you. Why is that you ask ? because the BP settlement is may up by attorneys and the very complicated language that is associates with the different claims you can file and when you qualify for one claim and one payout and one multiplier its very complicated trust me I read the 1022 page document.

The attorney will work all you documents up for you and give you a number before opt. in to the BP settlement, you will not go in blind not knowing what you are getting before you opt in.

They will tell you here is the number we want you to sign off  on before entering the BP settlement. If you get this number will you sign a release before entering into the BP settlement.

If you go by yourself you will opt in to the BP settlement with out possibility of ever opting out. You will sign a final release with out knowing the number you are getting.

If you Opt in to the BP settlement you sign a release before knowing what they will pay you please understand that part.

Why Don’t I Use A Consultant To Do My Claim They Are Cheaper ?

If the consultant has enough money to pay you after you file a lawsuit against  him after he screws up your BP settlement claim then I would say for sure go with a consultant.

Because then you have two option go in blind to the BP settlement hope as hell it lands on your number, if it does not file suit against your “consultant” for his misrepresentation and guidance in the matter.

This is a legal settlement and the last time I check a so called consultant can not give out legal advice.

So how will he advice you if its correct to opt in to the BP settlement or not ?  Short answer to that is he can’t so he will make you take the decision again for all the money if you should opt in or out of the BP settlement.

So if that is the case why do you need a consultant ?

Here are your 3 option in the BP Settlement

1. Do it yourself take a gamble

2. Hire an consultant and file suit against him if the gamble does not work

3. Fire your consultant and hire an attorney right now.

I know that attorneys are expensive yes they charge from 25% -33% of what you get in your claim and if you feel like you claim is not worth that then choose option 1 or 2 . If you feel like you have some serious money coming your way and don’t want to gamble on the amount then fill out a form and hire an attorney to handle your case. If you like filing suit and get money from people that screw up sign up with an consultant and remember to ask them what kind of policy they have in place if you have to file suit against them one day. Find out how big a company you are working with, find out who you are working with.

What Does An Attorney Offer In The BP Settlement Process

When you first fill out a form on this website from our advertisers you will find nice people that return your call and will talk to you about your BP settlement case. After having a little talk about your case the attorney probably want to sign you up if your case is good. After you sign up with the attorney you will have to provide the documents the attorney is asking for.  When the attorney has all the documents he will send your case to the CPA that will work up your case and present the numbers on the case to the attorney. When the attorney gets you case back from the CPA with the numbers he expect you to get, its time for the attorney to advice you what you best options are for maximum recovery. After he has adviced you what you legal rights are in the BP settlement and by going directly to BP with your case its up to you to decide if you want to take your attorneys advice or if you want to do something different. Its your choice in the end but I will strongly suggest that you list to your attorney as that is why you hired him in the first place.

I Made A Mistake I Want To Fire My Consultant

I know it happens to the best of us, so how do you go about getting out of the contract you sign with him.?  Here is what you do. Hire an attorney and tell him about the company that you sign a contract with for consulting work, the attorney will help you out of the situation as  in many states the percentage or contingency fee the consultant is charging your are illigal in most states anyway. The attorney will get you out of the contract in no seconds flat with a simple phone call or letter to the consulting firm that you have sign up with. Don’t worry about that the import thing is you corrected the mistake before it became costly to you and no harm was done to your claim and the attorney will treat your claim the same as the other claims he is working up. What the consultant did for you will not be use in way as the CPA the attorney has will be more trusted in the BP settlement anyway. Get your claim over to an attorney today from a consultant by simply telling the attorney about the consultant that you sign a contract with.
