BP Claims Process and Punitive Damages

BP Claims Judge

Judge Barbier ruled that under Maritime Law, business`s and individuals that were affected by the BP Oil Spill could sue BP for punitive damages. This is a major blow to BP. Punitive damages go beyond just the economic loss incurred. They are intended to punish the offender, so it doesn`t happen again. Extreme negligence will have to be proven on BP`s part. Article

How will this affect the BP Claims Process

As of now punitive damages aren`t compensated for in the Oil Spill Claims process. What is taken into consideration is Interim Claims. It has always been my position that it is best just to file BP Claims for Interim Payments, unless you really need the money, and I know many people do. Interim BP Claims allow you to sue BP at a later date, and if it looks like punitive damages are going to be awarded, you may want to reserve your right to sue BP, therefore you may not want to take a final settlement for your BP Claims.
