How much money can I recover in a BP oil spill claim?

If you feel you have suffered damages as a result of the BP oil spill, or even from the threat of the oil spill, you may be entitled to compensation from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF). This fund, which was established in the 1980’s, and has grown to $2.7 billion, was established to:

• Provide an Emergency Fund for Federal On-Scene Coordinators to respond to oil spills and to initiate natural resource damage assessments; and
• Provide a Principal Fund used to pay claims and to fund appropriations by Congress to Federal agencies to administer the provisions of Oil Pollution Act (OPA) and support research and development 

In addition to this, a $20 billion claims fund has been established for victims of the BP oil spill. According to BP, these funds will be available to satisfy legitimate claims, including natural resource damage and state and local response costs. 

Through these funds you may be compensated for the value of damages that you suffered due to the BP oil spill. If you need help to estimate the value of your BP oil spill claim, you can get the professional help of a Florida Insurance claims attorney.
