Ever since the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico by the oil giant BP, there has been a lot of talk about compensation. BP has offered many people settlements with the stipulation that they will not sue the company. While many have accepted the offers, many are skeptical.
The Attorneys generals of at least four states have offered advice to those who have not accepted any offers as of yet. They are saying that it would be wise to consult a lawyer and that they could be eligible for more money. The cases will undoubtedly tie up the courts for years to come.
