The oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico when one of BP's oil wells exploded, was both a human and environmental catastrophe. Literally, millions of barrels of oil were discharged into the ocean for months on end. If you ask the experts how much oil was actually released, you will receive a very wide range of estimates.
The fact of the matter is that nobody really knows how much oil was released, nor do they know where all of that oil is presently. Some of it has been cleaned up, and another portion of it has disintegrated, but where is the rest of it?
Without question, a large amount of it was taken by the currents and washed out into the ocean. While some of that oil will never return to our shores, you can be absolutely sure sooner or later some of it will. The problem with this scenario is that nobody knows how much will hit the beaches, or when it will return.
So, if all of this oil that was once miles beneath the earth's crust is still floating around in the ocean, is it still harming the sea life in the area? Of course it is, but to date, not enough research has been done to figure out what is going to eventually happen.
If you are a fisherman, or you have some kind of other occupation that depends on having a pristine Gulf of Mexico, this kind of news has to be extremely disheartening. These businesses have already
suffered tremendous financial losses because of the oil spill, and if the life that resides in the Gulf of Mexico is still being polluted, they will continue to suffer for many years to come.
The Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) was setup by BP to handle all of the claims that they were expecting because of the oil spill disaster. This organization has had 10,000's of claims submitted to it, and a very large percentage of them have been denied for one reason or another.
If you have a business that operates in this region of the country and you submitted a BP claim and it was rejected, more than likely it has something to do with your documentation. The GCCF has very strict guidelines that must be followed in order to have a claim first be approved, and later to be paid out to the business that submitted the claim.
Most of the businesses that have turned in claims are very small mom and pop types of operations. While these people are very hard working, and are certainly experts at what they do, they are not lawyers or accountants.
It is possible to improve your paperwork, and then resubmit your BP claim to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF). There are certain attorneys that are presently operating in this area of the country that are specialist at compiling all of the documentation that is required to have a claim paid by BP. If your claim has been denied in the past, you might want to strongly consider contacting one of these professionals.
