What is my window of time for filing a claim?

The statute of limitations for filing claims could be as short as six months. Transocean Ltd., owner of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and one of the potentially liable parties in the accident, has filed a petition in federal court in Houston requesting the court limit its liability in the accident. BP leased the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig from Transocean. A federal judge has ordered that all pending claims against Transocean be filed no later than Nov. 15. If you believe that you have a claim related to the BP oil spill, it’s important to file a claim now. An experienced oil spill attorney can advise you on filing a claim.
