As I talked about in the post last week the BP claims settlement with the attorneys are very close, if you missed this post go down below this post and see what I expect as new multipliers for people with legitimate claims.

If you have an attorney already or you are with Brent Coon & Associates as most people reading this blog are, you are set and your settlement will go though the attorney steering committee when the settlement is announced.

If you are still not represented by an attorney its time to get in on this an request the representation of Brent Coon & Associates fill out the form on the right hand side of this page. After you have filled out the form you will be taken to the request for representation page for Brent Coon & Associate.

Its very important for your claim and for Brent Coon & Associates to take your case that you can prove your losses. Its also very important that you can tie those losses to the BP oil spill, and not just a case of the general economy.

If you have a legitimate claim and if you have not been helped by the GCCF or even been denied by the GCCF, we want to see your BP claim.

Smoking Gun Before the BP Claims Trial Guarantees settlement

The worst thing that could happen to BP would be a finding of gross negligence this could cost BP over 50 Billion dollars and could introduce punitive damages for many of the BP claims today with the attorneys.

So the smoking gun was the phone call that came from Donald Vidrine, the senior BP manager on the Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, 2010, he talked with an engineer about unsatisfactory well tests less than an hour before an explosion killed 11 workers on the rig.

Donald Vidrine nor the engineer did anything about these unsatisfactory well tests and this negligence then caused the biggest oil spill in US history. This is central to the case and to much of a gamble for BP to risk it all at trial.

BP Claims Settlement Should Give Real Money To The Victims NOW!

This BP Claims settlement that the attorneys are negotiating right now will give real money to the victims of the BP oil spill and it will give people and business money in a timely manner.

It will make the multipliers higher and it will give people that live off the water a possible bonus payment as these people could possible have gotten punitive damages at trial.

So what can we predict about this BP Claims settlement ? First off it will be much better numbers than what GCCF are going out with to people. Why ? Well because the attorneys have to get a better settlement than what can be had though the GCCF or they would go to trial with every single case and get the money at trial.

What do you need to do to be part of this settlement ? First you have to be represented by an Attorney. If you are not with an attorney today get with one now as this thing will go down in the next 7 days.

How fast will money be paid out ? First off if you have a case that has already been worked up by a CPA or claims processor for the attorneys the money could come very quickly. Like within 30 days of this settlement. If you have not presented proof of your losses yet to the attorneys this needs to be done first before you can get your BP claims settlement payment.

No more GCCF bullshit and no more denials on fake grounds and playing games with a low ball offer.

If this settlement get put in place, the GCCF will have to follow the numbers of the attorneys settlements or they will be out of business.

What Should You Do Now ?

If you are already with an Attorney make sure that he has worked up your case, make sure that you have provided documentation for you case so he can work it up.

The number one thing we are missing are for business and individuals to send in their paperwork to get their case worked up.

If you are still not represented by an attorney or if you have had somebody else work up your case for you that are not an attorney you need to move your case over to an attorney NOW.

If you have followed this blog for a while we provide attorneys and you can sign up by filling out the form on the right hand side of this page.

When Will We Know About This BP Claims Settlement ?

If we get the BP Claims Settlement that we are hoping for it will be in the next 7 days, so we are very close and there is no time to waist right now in getting this done.

You can file you claim with BP for the next year but as you want your claim paid off as soon as possible getting in on this now is important. Keep an eye on this blog my next post will be about the BP Claims settlement and its structure.

The Gulf Coast Claims Facility or the GCCF was put in place to help the business and personal income BP Claims with fast money to help them recover from the largest oil spill in US history. Now 18 month later they clearly did not help 100,000 of business and over 300,000 individuals that had legitimate claims. Even the 200,000 people that got a quick claim paid by the GCCF the verdict is still out if they got help or just took what ever they could get because the oil spill was ruining their livelihood.

For all you out there that that have not gotten help, are still in limbo with the GCCF or have just been flat out denied by the GCCF, read this post all the way to the end and a nice bonus will be there for you to see.

Proof That GCCF Has Not Made It Right

A group of Louisiana fishermen and Houma Indians are traveling around the country telling their Gulf-oil spill claim horror stories 18 months after the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

This was not supposed to happen, according to the hype surrounding the establishment of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF), which was masterminded by the White House and BP to pay out $20 billion in oil-spill claims — promptly and effectively.

But according to the Claims Journal, the so-called streamlined BP claims process touted by GCCF’s third-party administrator Ken Feinberg, is simply not working. Instead, it’s bogged down in bureaucratic quicksand and its reputation of being an advocate for small claimants has been ruined by lightning-fast claim rejections – based on little common sense.

“There are still problems with the claims process even all this time later,” Rebecca Templeton, head of a social service nonprofit helping Louisiana fisherman, told the Journal. “And the shrimping season is a disappointment, and fishermen are fearful of it getting worse.”

It appears to me their fears are firmly rooted.

Long Term Effect GCCF Is Ignoring For BP Claims

Louisiana State University researchers found that many of the native fish in the Gulf were having reproductive and development problems as a direct result of the contaminants that flooded the bayous on account of the BP Gulp oil spill.

 Environment Still Not Cleaned Up, GCCF Not Paying BP Claims?

Although BP promised it would clean up the damage of its gargantuan oil spill, Louisiana Houma Indians recently testified in front of Congress telling them that this was not the case.

“We are losing our land and the people too,” Sharon Gauthe, a co-founder of the nonprofit advocacy group Shared Community Organizing told the Journal.

As more and more small businesses realize their financial losses could stretch into five years or more, the GCCF is vehemently rejecting their future claims on the erroneous basis that they can’t be proved and there’s no effective way to measure the losses.

 GCCF Is Ignoring Long-Term Effects

Simultaneously, nonprofit environmental groups are releasing scientific studies that contradict GCCF’s rationale for not accepting or paying such claims.

For example, according to a new study released by the Waterkeeper Alliance, the negative effects of the Gulf oil spill are just beginning.

“The oil is not gone, and long-term impacts are still unknown,” the report said. “If past oil spills are used as a barometer we can fully expect the Gulf Coast to suffer continued environmental degradation for decades.”

The report concludes this is so because 75 percent of the oil spilled by BP is still lingering on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, creating an unprecedented and unknown new environmental hazard.

While it has always been the policy of this blog to be objective and give the GCCF the benefit of the doubt and a fair chance to make good on its claim — these damning facts cannot be ignored!

 For a moment, let me get personal about your BP Claims

I don’t have a BP claim against the GCCF, but if I or a relative did, I would seek the advice of an attorney, who had experience in this arena – and I’d advise my relative to do the same! Don’t let the GCCF play games with your future. It makes all the sense in the world to protect your interests by seeking legal counsel help from somebody with leverage.

BP Claim: GCCF Vs. Settlement

Even before BP dumped all of their oil into the gulf, gulf coast residents had a lot to deal with, just like everyone else. People are busy making ends meet, taking care of their families, and keeping their businesses running or working hard at their jobs. Now that the oil spill wrecked a lot of people’s livelihoods, those same problems didn’t go away, but now there is a whole set of new ones to figure out your BP Claim. Who has time to do a ton of research on the best way to get the money they deserve through a BP claim? I’m going to do my best to break down the difference between getting a BP claim through the GCCF or doing it through an attorney.

The main things everyone needs to know about their BP claim are 1) How much money will I get? and 2) How quickly will I get it?

How Much Money Will I get for My BP Claim?

For starters, let’s go over the amount of money you would get from each. The GCCF has been delaying people to make them desperate so they will accept their quick pays of $5,000 personal and $25,000 business, so those amounts are what most people will get if they stick with the GCCF for their BP Claim. If you’re looking to get more out of a final claim, the GCCF will probably just keep delaying or denying you. You might get lucky and get offered a little more, but it still probably won’t be as much as you lost.

If you decide to get some representation and take BP to court, the amount could vary a lot from person to person, but it’s pretty safe to say it’s going to be closer to what you deserve than those crap quick pays the GCCF is so eager to get you to accept. The reason you will probably get more out of your BP Claim this way is that a lawsuit will give you compensation for up to 3-5 years of losses (which is likely what you will actually lose) instead of the set quick pay amount the GCCF will try to force on you. Even if you get offered a final settlement for your BP Claim through the GCCF, it will still probably only compensate you for 1-2 years of losses.

How Fast Will I Get my BP Claim Money?

It seems like it would take longer to go through the courts to get paid than through the GCCF, but there is a little more at work here than you might think. Firstly, if you take the quick pay, you will probably get it after the 90 days the GCCF promises. If you want an interim or final payment, good luck.

The GCCF loves to delay BP claims by taking longer than the 90 days they say they will. Then once they finally get around to processing your claim, they usually delay by asking for more documentation on your BP Claim (documentation that they don’t need). Once they finally have to finish delaying, they will often just deny you even if you have a good claim, or they will say they overpaid you for your emergency BP Claim payment (which is a lie). After all this, it could be a long, long time before you see any money from the GCCF, if you ever get any at all.

If you decide to go with an attorney, you could get a settlement for your BP Claim in as quickly as 60 days. That’s not always the case, but it’s pretty common. Most of the time, you can get a settlement before the GCCF would have finished processing your claim. There are a few things you should know if you decide to do this to get your BP claim though. First of all, if you take a settlement now, you will get the money faster, but you might not get as much as if you wait.

Why Is It Like This?

The reason you might be able to get more if you wait on your BP Claim is because there is a big lawsuit to figure out which companies are liable for the oil spill, but it’s not going to happen until February 2012. If you are able to wait until then to get your settlement, you will probably be able to get compensated a lot more for your BP Claim. If you can’t wait that long because you have a mortgage or other reason you just have to have the money now, you can still get a settlement for your BP Claim quickly, it just won’t be quite as much. It will still probably be a lot more than a GCCF quick pay though.

The Bottom line is, going for a settlement to get your BP Claim will probably get you more money, and will get it to you faster.

I just wanted all the people who are thinking about taking a GCCF final claim for $5,000 or $25,000 or whatever amount the GCCF is offering you to think twice. GCCF (BP) made up the rules, and told you that you would only get 2 years of compensation— the first year being 2010 and the final year being 2011. They had BP experts tell everybody that the region would recover in 2011. The “experts” that told us that were paid for by BP.

Before Signing Your Name To A GCCF Final Claim

Did they consider the oil still on the bottom of the gulf ?

Did they consider a possible hurricane bringing it all to the beaches?

Did they consider that the whole region could possibly become sick from the Sh.. they sprayed in the gulf to cover up their mess?

Did they consider the tourists still not coming back ?

Did they consider what the oil and dispersant would do to the food chain in the gulf ?

Did they consider how people’s lives down here were affected by their oil spill ?

They did not consider any of these things when they bought experts to make up stories about the oil being gone and the region recovering in 2011. The only thing they considered was the money they would save for writing the BS they were writing.

I want you to consider these things before you take a GCCF final claim. I want you to consider if you want to go along with what BP and the GCCF says and take that as the truth, or if you want a court of the people to make the decision about what’s fair.

GCCF Final Claim Money Offered

I want you to consider the money they are offering you. Do you think it’s enough, or do you think you could get more by doing something about it yourself? I won’t dance around it; I’m going to say screw BP and the GCCF and tell them they are not running the show, and I think everyone else should do the same. I will go after them with everything I have and make them pay for what they did to my life and my family’s life, and our beautiful waters and fishing grounds.

I want you to get what you deserve, and I truly believe that the only way to do that is to hire an attorney, the kind that will not just settle with the GCCF and take whatever they are offering you. Hire the kind of attorney that will fight for you in court and take BP all the way to the end stop where a jury will decide what you should get as damages. I want the image of BP to be as black as the oil they put in our waters, I want you to go after them and their image to get the maximum amount of money you can get by a court in this great land. Why settle for less than what you have lost? Don’t let them tell you what you have lost or make up the rules of how to determine your losses, don’t let them set the rules. Let the courts set the rules.

Don’t Sign A GCCF Final Claim

It will take an extra year if you follow my advice, but you will get ten times more out of it and you will hurt BP where it hurts them the most and that is their image and their pocketbook. You will get all that you have lost back from the past and what you could lose in the future but you will know at the end of the day that you did all you could do to bring BP to justice for what they did to your job opportunities, you family, and your way of life.

I hope that after reading this you will know what you need to do and don’t sign a GCCF Final Claim
