Frank Charles Miranda, P.A. Discusses BP Oil Claims

Online, February 10, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Frank Charles Miranda, P.A. Discusses BP Oil Claims

Frank Charles Miranda, P.A. issued an announcement to all personal injury contacts and all business contacts across Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater on Monday morning regarding BP oil claims. The notice was an important reminder regarding the impending April 2014 deadline for filing a BP oil claim for compensation for businesses along the Gulf Coast of Florida.

A representative from the Law Office of Frank Charles Miranda explained that the BP economic and property damages settlement offers every business in Zone A the benefit of what is termed a "no causation" standard regarding file BP oil claims. This means that a business which finds itself in Zone A will not have to prove any economic loss in 2010 following the BP oil spill, and their BP oil claim is bound to move along much smoother. Many believe that the standard by which economic loss will NOT have to be proved only applies to businesses within Zone A who choose to file a BP oil claim, this is not always the case. The standard of "no causation" will extend to certain Zone B businesses, and they will NOT need to prove their economic losses in 2010 when they prepare for filing a BP oil claim. Examples of businesses falling outside of Zone A, but still under "no causation" standards include local restaurants, hotels and local shops frequented by tourists.

It was explained that many businesses do not even know if they qualify to file a BP oil claim. Businesses that are well within their rights to file a BP oil claim include:

• Service based businesses, like insurance agencies.
• Any business that had to close its doors due to the BP oil spill disaster.
• Businesses that sold their major products in areas that suffered steep economic losses.
• Anyone who owned real estate that was damaged as a result of the BP oil spill.
• Anyone in specified areas whose land holdings suffered a decrease in value due to the BP oil spill.
Miranda explained that these are just a limited number of examples of the types of businesses that are eligible to file a BP oil claim. He encourages ALL businesses in affected areas to research the BP oil claim process as soon as possible.
