Do I have to file a lawsuit to submit a claim?

Maybe. BP has established a $20 billion fund for individuals and businesses that have suffered economic losses related to the Gulf oil spill.

It’s important to discuss your claim with a lawyer. An experienced oil spill lawyer at Arnold & Itkin LLP can advise you on the best way to pursue your claim.
