Law Firm Clarifies Recent BP Oil Spill Settlement Developments And Discusses Potential Claims

June 7, 2012 - PRLog -- TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Following the release of extensive new information in the BP Oil Spill Settlement, associates from Farrell & Patel, Attorneys at Law, addressed a large audience of Gulf business owners Wednesday in Tuscaloosa to clarify complex updates to the Settlement and to advise potential claim holders.

With offices in Miami, Tampa, Houston and New Orleans, Farrell & Patel currently represents over 2,500 clients in the BP Oil Spill Settlement, and with a focus in the tourism and hospitality industries, the firm has broad experience in helping Gulf business owners recover their economic losses following the BP Oil Spill of April 2010.

At the firm’s informational session in Tuscaloosa, Farrell & Patel associates explained in simplistic terms how businesses operating across the entire states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are now eligible to file claims and receive compensation for their economic losses due to the Spill. With each of attending individuals owning at least three properties ⎯ some with 20 or more ⎯ the firm’s simplification of the settlement documents proved to be very helpful for Gulf business owners seeking compensation.

Ricky Patel, senior partner of Farrell & Patel, was also in attendance to help clarify the complex new litigation and advise potential claim holders on their next steps for recouping economic losses.

“I’m glad we had the opportunity to speak with Gulf business owners today and to help simplify what is, undoubtedly, an overwhelming and challenging process,” Patel said. “These business owners deserve just compensation for what the Spill took from them, and our firm is confident in our ability to help them recover such losses.”
