How to Know if You Qualify for Compensation
Thousands of people were directly affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and millions more were indirectly affected, through the loss of income or marine life on which they depended. Many people have not applied for benefits or compensation that they may be due in the aftermath of the Gulf spill, but there is still time to consider your options. If you are unsure whether or not you qualify for compensation, it is strongly advisable to consult with an attorney.
If you or someone you know has suffered losses attributable to the effects of the oil spill, you might be able to recover financial compensation to address these effects.
