Owners and Renters of Land/Property
For those renting or owning property along the Gulf Coast, the tar balls and crude oil washing ashore is not only an unwelcome ugly addition to their land but a potential long-term problem. Regardless on who possesses the deed, the damage to the shoreline caused by the Gulf oil leak has very serious consequences with legitimate financial claims. BP oil spill claims made against the gas giant for damage caused by the thousands of crude oil making landfall must not only cover the present harm but also the long-term consequences.
Owners of land who have oil wash onto their land have a right to seek compensation for remediation and removal of the oil. What's more, they also may make a claim against BP for Depreciating Value, which is covered further on this site. Further, if you lease land that has been tainted by the oil leak in the Gulf, your lease is probably worth less than the terms in which you signed the contract and you may have a claim. These are merely two examples of how land owners living along the Louisiana coastline have legitimate concerns and potential BP oil spill claims.
If oil has washed onto your property, documenting the damage is an important step to the process to getting the money you deserve. Whether through photographs or video, or even having an expert analyze the harm caused, the Berniard Law Firm will work to showcase the variety of oil damages that you have suffered. Utilizing financial records of the value of the land and any relevant lease agreements, our firm will help illustrate through a variety of avenues the manner in which a financial remedy is required. What's more, the more information the property owner or renter can provide our firm will help us make your BP oil spill claim handled more effectively. Should BP refuse to offer the full amount of money needed to fix the harm caused, both for repair and permanent damage, our firm will continue as the voice representing your interests in court.
The Berniard Law Firm has worked extensively with property damage claims being refused by insurance companies and we expect to see the same problems emerge with BP. We look to carry over our track record of getting results for our clients into this ecological disaster and would be happy to discuss with any potential client their legal rights involving this spill.
