BP Oil Spill Claims -
What People Don't Know
Florida BP Oil Spill Claims Attorney http://www.floridaoilspill.com notes that the media has covered the BP Oil Spill Claims for Businesses claims process extensively. What people and business owners don't know: "Is my business covered by the BP Oil Spill Claims Settlement?" This short video can help find a resource to determine if you, your family, or your business qualifies for a settlement from the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center .

The settlement is 1270 pages long and we have posted the agreement here for you to review. See http://bpsettlement.floridaoilspill.com/. We have studied the settlement agreement and can quickly calculate what, if any damages may be awarded.

One media source noted, "In the months after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded 300 miles off Florida's coast in April 2010, hotel and restaurant owners, fishermen and shopkeepers kept a grim vigil, waiting to see whether the millions of gallons of spilled oil would taint the state's beaches and harm its seafood." See Review.net  "Feeding Frenzy" March 8, 2013.

The Feeding Frenzy report also noted,, "In December, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans gave final approval to a $7.8 billion partial class-action settlement providing for economic and property damages from the spill, including those in Florida. BP separately agreed to pay $4.5 billion in penalties and pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in the disaster, which cost 11 lives. Barbier now is presiding over a trial to determine whether BP was grossly negligent, with another $17 billion in potential penalties at stake."

The writer recognized, "With the new guidelines, thousands of firms may qualify if they fall within designated coastal zones and show a 2010 drop in revenue after the disaster, with a rebound in 2011. But the window to collect damages from the largest oil spill in U.S. history is closing — economic and property damage claims must be filed by April 2014. "

The article concluded, "As of Feb. 10, in the third phase of payouts, the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center had issued 26,608 eligibility notices with payment offers totaling more than $2 billion throughout the gulf states. The center had also completed more than $1.43 billion in payments on 19,530 claims. "

Florida Oil Spill Biodegradable Cleanup with Peat Moss

Florida Oil Spill, Florida Oil Spill Cleanup, Oil Spill
Florida Oil Spill attorney has interviewed an individual that claims that a material found in abundance can be used to naturally treat oil affected areas. One manufacturer has suggested that peat moss can be used to clean up the Gulf oil disaster.

According to the manufacturer, peat moss is "a non-toxic, all natural, 100% organic, lab-tested, field proven, industrial absorbent that is economical, efficient, non-abrasive, non-toxic, non-leaching and in its natural state is already biodegraded. The inherent capillary action of the activated peat provides a powerful wicking action and encapsulates oils."

Oil Spill - Dauphin Island, Alabama

The efforts to stem the flow of oil from the icy depths of the Gulf of Mexico have failed. As balls of oil wash up on Dauphin Island, Alabama, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said,  "I wouldn't say it's failed yet,"

"What I would say is what we attempted to do ... didn't work." According  to a Mother's Day report from the Associated Press.

Oil Spill Disaster - Simulated Drifter Trajectories from College of Marine Science USF

Oil Spill Disaster - Simulated Drifter Trajectories created by a collaborative effort between the Ocean Circulation Group and the Optical Oceanography Laboratory at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, and the results are provided as is can be found at http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/oil.html 

"This is an effort to track the Deepwater Horizon (Macondo well, designated by the red circle) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after the oil rig explosion on April 20, 2010. Drifter trajectories were calculated based on the three-hourly surface currents from the West Florida Shelf ROMS hindcastt/forecast system. Particles were released from the sunken rig site every three hours since 05/02/2010 18:00 UTC, assuming continual oil spill from the well. The initial locations of the drifters were taken from satellite remotely sensed oil slick patches at that time. The particles (difters) are shown as black dots, and their trajectries in magenta. Sea surface temperature (color contours, units in deg C) was superimposed with the surface current vectors to indicate the surface ocean circulation. The velocity data were subsampled every the third grid points in both east and north directions for better visulization." Source: http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/oil.html

The Nasa Earth Observatory and Oil Spill Attorneys are watching as the massive oil slick approaches the Texas, Louisiana, and Florida coasts. According to NASA, "The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured a natural-color image of the oil slick just off the Louisiana coast. "

According to NASA, "[t]he top image shows a wide-area view, and the bottom image shows a close-up view of the oil slick (outlined in white in the top image). The oil slick appears as dull gray interlocking comma shapes, one opaque and the other nearly transparent. The northwestern tip of the oil slick almost touches the Mississippi Delta.."
