BP- British Petroleum Role in Gulf Oil Spill

Legal Assistance for Oil Explosion and Oil Spill victims who have been harmed physically, Sustained Significant Property Damage, and Economic Loss due to the Gulf Coast Oil Platform Explosion and Oil Leak (Oil Spill / Oil Slick).

BP - British Petroleum has tried to be the nice guy roll in the Gulf Coast Oil Platform Explosion and ensuing Oil Spill, stating they will pay out all reasonable claims as a result of the Oil Rig Explosion and Oil Spill.

While BP - British Petroleum are "talking the talk" on the outside, they have include in their language the term "reasonable claim." This is a very broad term which is open to a great deal of interpretation. Additionally, when a company comes forward to quickly resolve liability claims, the purpose is often to offer money to desperate individuals or companies, before the full extent of the damage or economical impact will be for those filing claims against them.

Before you settle in and get all warm and fuzzy about BP - British Petroleum "stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing", the Gulf Coast Oil Spill could have been averted.

BP knew of problems with an offshore well hours before it exploded last month, spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, a House committee chairman said Wednesday.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said the oil company told the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight privately that the well failed a key pressure test just hours before it exploded on April 20.

The test indicated pressure was building up in the well, which could indicate oil or gas was seeping in and could lead to an explosion, said Waxman.

"Yet it appears the companies did not suspend operations, and now 11 workers are dead and the Gulf faces an environmental catastrophe," he said, asking why work wasn't stopped on the well.
