BP Oil Spill Settlement Claims
The Court has approved two class action settlements with BP that will fully compensate hundreds of thousands of victims of the tragedy. The settlements resolve the majority of private economic loss, property damage, and medical injury claims stemming from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, and hold BP fully accountable to individuals and businesses harmed by the spill.
Under the settlements, there is no dollar limit on the amount BP will pay. BP must fully satisfy all qualified claims. To date businesses and individuals that suffered economic losses or property damage have received over $1 billion through the class action settlement program.
