The BP Oil Spill | Baron & Budd Takes on the Companies Responsible for Horrific Negligence

There are very few law firms in the country with substantial experience fighting and successfully litigating against big oil in the courtroom. We are one of those firms.
If you are a business owner and have been adversely affected by the Gulf Oil Spill, you are undoubtedly confronting unprecedented decisions.

Chief among these decisions is how to seek compensation for your business losses. We applaud and support the Presidents decision to establish the BP Fund. However, we want to communicate to you, the business owner, that you would be well-served by seeking independent legal counsel to advise you regarding your Fund application as this is a singular opportunity for you to receive compensation for your spill-related losses.
It is in your best interest to have every available resource on your side when making decisions that affect the long-term outcome of your business.
Once the Fund ceases making emergency payments (approximately 30 to 90 days after the oil stops leaking), if you accept monies awarded by the Fund, you will be required to release ALL of your claims forever against BP. You will forever be barred from seeking additional damages for your business if it turns out that you underestimated your loss. Therefore, it is important to hire experienced counsel who has access to financial experts with experience calculating future business losses and presenting the losses in a way that meets the legal standards of proof.
We urge you to seek the advice of legal counsel to ensure that your losses are appropriately calculated and that you can obtain a fair and full recovery.
With a 30-year history of Protecting What's Right for individuals, businesses, municipalities and states across the nation, Baron & Budd is able to handle your business loss claims from start to finish, including litigation if the amount awarded by the fund does not cover your losses.
