A question I got just today that is very interesting it came from a lady in Louisiana, can my kids apply for the BP settlement ? She lived right across from the beach and her kids had some medical problems related to the oil spill.

The answer is YES your kids should apply for the BP settlement if they have had some medical problems related to the BP oil spill and if you live within 1/2 a mile from the beach.

On top of that she had file and received a Quick Pay on her wage loss claim. Does not matter as your kids would have a different social security number and they can file their own claim with the help of the attorneys.

The other beautiful thing would be the 21 year health monitoring that you kids would get if they applied for a BP settlement. This could make sure that any future problems they might have from the BP oil spill could be caught early and hopefully cured.

So I want everybody out there that live in the affected area to think about if a family member have been having medical problems because of the BP oil spill. The BP settlement would need a witness statement, doctor visits an any other proof you could supply.

If you have a claim or a loved one has a claim for medical because of the BP oil spill and you live 1/2 a mile from the beach in the affected area fill out a claim on the top of this website.

Even GCCF Is Telling You Not To Accept The Quick Pay

The GCCF posted this on their website today.

By accepting a Quick Payment offer, you will release and forever discharge ALL claims (except claims for Physical Injury or Death). You will NOT be able to pursue any further claims (except claims for Physical Injury or Death), in the Court-Supervised Settlement Program, or the GCCF, or against Transocean, Halliburton, or any other party, or the MDL, or any other claims process or litigation. You will also waive your right to submit your claim to the National Pollution Funds Center (“NPFC”), the Coast Guard office responsible for evaluating and approving OPA claims, any such claim being completely resolved by accepting this offer.

Its very clear in this that they think people are crazy also to accept  a Quick Pay at this point as you would be done and cannot get the benefit of the BP settlement.

At this point the BP settlement should pay you 4 times more than a Quick Pay and you should not accept it, unless you of course you cannot prove your loss. If you can prove you loss then don’t accept the Quick Pay. The deadline for accepting the Quick Pay is May 7 2012 and you will have to make the choice if this is the right thing to do. If you accept the Quick Pay you cannot get any money in the BP settlement or any other attorney settlements.

The deadline for victims of the BP oil spill to file claims with the GCCF is rapidly approaching. The GCCF will close its doors in 2013, so now is the time to file or appeal your BP claim if you are a victim and have not done so already. The GCCF has come under fierce attack over the last year for unethical practices, and biases in determining BP claims decisions.

GCCF Pays Base On Amount

The GCCF has been limiting Gulf Coast claim approvals based on geographic proximity and amount people are asking for. This has been the biggest hot-button issue surrounding the GCCF’s practices. This means that if the BP oil spill negatively affected you – even if you sustained Income loss from the event – and you were not close enough to the spill to meet the GCCF standards, then they will deny your BP claim.

This stipulation has come under fire by many local government agencies, the most prominent of which is the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. The agency cited that the GCCF judged claims were based on “a random distance in relation to the shoreline” and advised that, “all claims incurred as a result of the oil spill should be paid regardless of the claimant’s physical location.”

GCCF Paying Claims Based On Industry Types

The GCCF is approving claims for industries related to seafood and fishing and throwing the other industries on the Gulf Coast affected by the spill under the bus. The organization categorically denied claims for industries they deemed “unrelated” to the spill, whether or not the businesses were impacted by the disaster. These industries should talk to an oil spill attorney and get represented in their claim against BP and the GCCF.

The GCCF has denied thousands of claims filed by businesses such as – but by no means limited to – beauty salons, travel agencies, grocery stores, and auto repair shops. Local business owners have suffered immensely as a result, because their businesses intertwine with tourism and the local vitality of the area before the spill.

The Tunnell Report Used By The GCCF To Pay

The media and local officials are also criticizing the GCCF for using information from a study called “The Tunnell Report” to determine future losses. Dr. Wes Tunnell of Texas A&M University authored the report, and a source notes that he receive $500,000 from the BP Oil Company to do so. The report proclaimed that there was great news on the horizon for the Gulf Coast. It stated that the gulf was in the midst of a strong recovery and that most of the fish population would be back to normal levels sometime in 2012.

Many marine biologists blasted Tunnell for the claims he made in his report. One observed that Tunnell’s report fails to provide enough individualized consideration of the effects of the oil spill on one particular species. In addition, the report was not peer-reviewed, which is a standard practice among academic professionals.

The bias of the GCCF in awarding claims is the main reason that we urge victims of the BP oil spill to appeal denied claims. If you have experienced bias when filing your claim, or you feel you have been unfairly denied, please fill out a free case review and talk to an attorney about getting your claim paid so that you can get on with your life after the spill.

Shrimpers and Crab Harvesters Gets More Money

BP claims for shrimpers and Crab harvesters that has already been paid for a full final payment by the GCCF double the money. You read that correctly. If you have already gotten paid by the GCCF sign off on the release not to sue, you are now entitled to double the amount of money.

Now here is the small text that you have to read, it has to have been a final review that you took from the GCCF and you had the payment before November 30, 2011

A Quick Pay will not work . If you took a Quick Pay there is nothing we can do for you at this time. Stay tuned however it might change.

So all shrimpers and crab harvesters sign up now and get 4 times your 2010 losses. If you have already been paid 2 times, let us get you double up now

BP Settlement In February 2012

The big question now is what will happen on the 26 of February 2012, is it going to be a settlement for only the environmental claims that the government has against BP or will it be a global BP claims settlement where also the economical BP claims cases will be settled ?

It still not to late to join in on these settlements if they are about to happen, but time is getting close to running out as the trial is 20 days away.

Government Settlement Or Also Individual BP Claims Cases?

The reason why this is so unsure is because of all the talks going on right now behind closed doors, the government are for sure in settlement talk with BP on getting out of criminal charges surrounding the BP disaster and their case should almost for certain settle before the trial date of February 26 2012. Now the attorneys that I talk to are saying they don’t care if the government settles before trial as they will still go to trial on their economical cases. That is around 100,000 cases right now and again I don’t see why BP would want to get the bad press on a trial setting for these case and not just settle them out. This is still a big question mark however what will happen, but we are getting very close to the trial date and something is fixing to happen.

Vessel Of Opportunity (VOO) Cases

The court has now ordered settlement talks between the attorneys and BP on these batch of cases. The VOO cases will go to mediation talks on February 13 and February 16. What will happen is 6 different cases represented by attorneys will be mediated and an a settlement offer will be put on each of the 6 cases. The 6 cases are different in nature, example one would be for the “Stand By Pay” and one would be for the “No decontamination of the boat” and so on and so on. If mediation goes as planed we will get 6 different types of settlements to offer VOO boat owners for their VOO claims against BP. The funny thing with these BP claims are that BP says that they should be paid by the GCCF but the GCCF says they cannot pay them as they are contractual disputes and has nothing to do with the Oil Pollution Act and the BP claims that they are paying.

Again the settlement date on this is just around the corner, you have to be represented by an attorney in these talks and the window is closing on getting in on this. Please fill out a form if you are a VOO boat owner and get in on this settlement.

BP Claims Deadline And Documentation

There are a lot of things that are getting very close in this litigation as the Judge Barbier in Louisiana is pushing both parties to get ready for trial. I am therefor telling everybody that deadlines are getting close if you want to be in on this wave of settlements or filings. That does however not mean that the statue (deadline) for filing a BP claim is running out. The dead line for filing a BP claim is still August 2013 or 3 years after the Oil stop flowing from the BP oil weel in the gulf of Mexico. So if you are waiting to file your claim then that would be your deadline. There could be many reason for waiting to file including the point of business not knowing what the future holds and wanting to wait with the filling.

BP Claims document that has to be submitted with your claim. This point is very important, if you are filing a claim and looking for a positive outcome from a settlement with the GCCF or BP. You have to provide all the documentation that supports your claim of loss of income or loss of business profit. Some people don’t have all the documentation that the attorneys are asking for but in that situation give them what you have and then talk to them about the documentation that you don’t have.

I am not saying its right not to pay taxes but the truth of the matter is that many people along the coast for one reason or another do not pay much taxes. This is something you would just talk to your attorney about or the accountant that is preparing your claim. There are other ways to estimate your losses than tax returns. You can show fish tickets, or log books, or bank accounts etc. Talk to them be open with them as they are your attorneys of what is going on and they will help you with what you need to give them.

GCCF News about the 6% Attorneys fee On Your BP Claims

Now to begin with this was just stupid and everybody with inside into the BP Claims world knew that it would not hold up and it did not, for about 3 weeks the GCCF was holding back the 6% on every BP claim they paid but now the judge correctly ruled that the 6% does not apply to people that has filed their own BP claim with the GCCF. The 6% fee only applies to people using an attorney to help with their claims. I did not address the fee at the time because it was so clear that it could never hold up, it was just plain stupid and I would judge it as a mistake by the Judge Barbier. I will say one of the very few mistakes he has made during this whole process. Think about this for a second and you will understand how stupid it is. 6% fee on 14 billion dollars is something like 840 million dollars. The 90 attorney’s that are working the case for the plaintiff has said they to date has spend 12 million dollars. Now why would we have to collect 840 million when they have only spend 12 million and they are more than half way done with stuff made no sense. The judge woke up saw his mistake and made the correction.

BP Claims Lawsuit Coming Your Way…. Maybe

Yes it is a big maybe because the DOJ (Department Of Justice) and BP are trying to settle this whole mess out of court as the chances they would both take by going to court are to big, for them not to make a settlement. The good news for people with unpaid BP claims is the timing of the settlement as the MDL (Multi District Litigation) or BP Claims Lawsuit would be up right after the liability trial is over. Now if you have your documents ready its not to late for you to get sign up and get ready for the settlement offers that currently are coming our way fast and  furious.

What does it take you might ask to get in on these settlements going on right now ? It takes a case that has been worked up by an attorney where you have a number on your losses. If you have a number you are getting a settlement offer to get you out of there. We have worked up hundreds  of cases an if you have numbers to back up your BP claim with getting a settlement offer from the GCCF is not that hard, once an attorney presents the GCCF with your final demand letter.

BP Claims and Final Demand Letter Only Attorney’s Can Do It

Now here is what people need to understand about the OPA (Oil Pollution Act ), in it there is rules that needs to be followed by the GCCF, when an attorney makes a final demand on an oil spill claim. Now this is why you need an attorney if you have come to the point where you have given up on the GCCF. If you just take a “Consultant” he will not be able to do an OPA Final Demand Letter on your claim, because what would the “consultant” do if he gets rejected ? He would do nothing because he is just a consultant and he has no powers. He really just have the same powers as you do, and if you have been though the hoops at the GCCF, you know what that is.

No you need an attorney to make the OPA final demand letter to the GCCF, this puts the GCCF on notice that they have 90 days to come with an offer or the attorney will file a lawsuit and demand the money in court.

Now this strategy is working extremely well for Brent Coon & Associates and they are getting most clients paid after their claim has been worked up and submitted to the GCCF with an OPA Final Demand Letter.

Don’t Wait Another Year On Some Wanna Be “Consultant” Doing Your BP Claims

Even before you do it I can tell you exactly how the whole thing will play out. You submit your BP claims to some “consultant” out there with a PHD in BS and he will work up your claim and submit it to the GCCF, after he gets it back with missing documents or denied, he will submit it a couple of more times and eventually he will come to you and suggest that you use an attorney for your BP Claim. When this happens you will have lost another 6-12 month of your life and he will know just the attorney that he will suggest that you go with.

The alternative to this scenario is go with the best attorney there is doing BP Claims, the law firm of Brent Coon & Associates, he will do great trying to first settle your case with the GCCF using the OPA final demand letter, if that does not work he will be the best BP trial lawyer you have ever seen, he will slam BP back to where they came from.
