Attorneys Fight for Gulf Coast Texans After the BP Oil Spill<\/h1>\n

Texas residents are eligible for significant  compensation<\/h2>\n

Texas has one of the largest coastlines on the Gulf of Mexico. Crews that have worked tirelessly to clean up Texas beaches after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill have faced possible exposure to oil and toxic chemicals.<\/p>\n

Many parts of the Texas coast are eligible for economic benefits as part of the BP class action settlement plan.  If you are concerned about whether you qualify for compensation for the spill, one of our lawyers can advise you on your specific situation in Texas.<\/p>\n

What benefits are available to Texans harmed by the oil spill?<\/h2>\n

Texans are eligible for economic damages from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. These are different from medical benefits. Economic damages from the BP compensation fund<\/a> are intended to reimburse people for losses to:
\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n \n A seafood-related business<\/li>\n A failed business or start-up as a result of the oil spill<\/li>\n Payment for a Vessels of Opportunity charter<\/li>\n Damage to coastal property or wetlands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n

\n \n Lost real estate sales due to the spill<\/li>\n Damage to a vessel<\/li>\n Individual economic loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n If you have been affected by the oil spill and need compensation but are unsure if you fall into one of the categories eligible for economic reimbursement, our attorneys can help answer your questions.<\/p>\n What areas are eligible for compensation from the BP settlement fund?<\/h2>\n Only those Texans in certain geographic coastal zones<\/a> are eligible for reimbursement for economic losses. The Gulf Coast is divided into economic loss zones classified as A, B, C and D. Reimbursement rates vary, depending on the zone. Parts of the Texas coast fall into zones C and D. Areas in those zones include: \n<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n Galveston<\/li>\n League City<\/li>\n Beaumont<\/li>\n Santa Fe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n \n \n Texas City<\/li>\n Anahuac<\/li>\n Port Arthur<\/li>\n Sabine Pass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Areas along Galveston and the barrier islands are eligible for Zone C funds.
