Topic: BP Oil Spill Claims

According to the Houston Chronicle, thousands upon thousands of individuals and small business owners affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill have been left with almost nothing. For example, Helen Nguyen of Independent Seafood was forced to file bankruptcy and close Independent Seafood's doors after catching tons upon tons of dead crabs. Jerry Tharp, owner and operator of Abbeville, Louisiana, based CrabCo of over 40 years, has likewise been on the brink of business collapse from the massive fallout of dead crabs in the Gulf since the catastrophic oil spill.

Other individuals like Helen and Jerry with similar or identical stories are possible beneficiaries of a proposed March 2 class action settlement between BP and the Plaintiffs'' Steering committee (PSC). If approved by the Court, the settlement agreement will provide an extensive and beneficial modification to the damage claims submitted by individuals and small business owners like Helen and Jerry. Although the proposed settlement may benefit Helen and Jerry, it is still uncertain ALL affected by the oil spill will be compensated.
