Guys,
Got a message from Tom today reminding me to stop by once in a while. Well here is the latest.
The website for the BP settlement will be here
http://www.deepwaterhorizonsettlements.com/
I have to say not so impressed with their website, but ok.
They want the attorneys to do everything online to speed up the process, they will have the clients sign affidavits that their information given to the GCCF can be shared with their attorney.
So when the attorney goes in and submit your case the information submitted to the GCCF will already be there attached to your social or EIN.
Now in all honesty this is a very good thing, and smart of them to do it this way. It will speed up processing and cut down on lost paperwork as everything goes in a database.
Now for the "government are tracking us" nuts probably not so good.
For the people that took Quick Pay (Yes I told you it would suck) but for you guys you can still file a VOO claim and Medical Claim.
When will money come and claims be paid out. My guess is on June 4 and lot and lots of money as fast as possible going forward until October 1 2012.
Opt-out before October 1 2012 if you have not gotten back a settlement amount yet. This is the last day to opt out and not be stuck in the settlement.
General opinion in Lawyer world that the BP Settlement will fall November 2012 and not last any longer that this.
General opinion among lawyers are you can get a number from the settlement and still opt-out if you do so before October 1 2012.
I hope this quick update helped somebody else check out my blog sites below.
Thanks
Jacob
