Lawyers Help Gulf Coast Residents in Zones A & B with the BP Settlement Fund<\/h1>\n

Working with you to make sure your claim is successful<\/h2>\n

British Petroleum reached a settlement with people affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2012. The settlement divided people into two classes, those with economic damage and those with medical damage. People living in certain geographic zones are eligible for compensation if they have suffered specific types of medical harm, property damage or other economic damage. In order to be eligible, you must file to join as members of the class action lawsuit against BP.<\/p>\n

The requirements to be eligible are confusing for many people and difficult to understand, but many people badly need compensation in the aftermath of the BP oil spill. The Downs Law Group simplifies the process for you in order to make it as easy as possible. If you think you fall into Zone A or Zone B, our lawyers can help you with seeking compensation.<\/p>\n

What medical benefits are available to Zone A and B residents?<\/h2>\n

Residents are considered those people located in coastal zones designated as Zone A or Zone B for at least 60 days between April 20, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Zone A areas are typically beach areas from which the zone extends half a mile. Zone B areas are typically bayous or marshland from which the zone extends an additional mile. Zone A and B residents are at risk for significant medical conditions, and are eligible for compensation if they have suffered from:<\/p>\n

\n
• Temporary symptoms<\/strong>: Mild conditions that have been properly documented are eligible for up to $900 in benefits.<\/li>\n
• Persistent conditions<\/strong>: Conditions that have required more extensive treatment can receive up to $5,450 in benefits, and additional compensation if hospitalization has been necessary.<\/li>\n
• Chronic conditions<\/strong>: Certain conditions that have not been cured and require extensive treatment are eligible for as much as $36,950 in medical benefits, and additional compensation for hospital stays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Only certain medical conditions<\/a> are eligible, and documentation is necessary. Our attorneys can provide more detailed information about benefits and requirements.<\/p>\n

  What documentation is required for medical conditions?<\/h2>\n

  Residents in Zones A and B are eligible for compensation if certain conditions are met. Documentation depends on the nature of the medical problem. Requirements for conditions are:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Temporary symptoms<\/strong>: A statement of another person and some kind of additional evidence corroborating the medical symptoms are required.<\/li>\n
  • Persistent conditions<\/strong>: Medical records from a professional listing the symptoms that you claim to be suffering from are needed.<\/li>\n
  • Chronic conditions<\/strong>: Information contained in a medical encounters database with BP or contained elsewhere with BP is required to establish chronic conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Certain formalities and other types of documentation may very well be required for a successful claim with the BP compensation fund<\/a>. Our lawyers can explain the process in terms that you can understand and help you with every step of the process.<\/p>\n
