Federal Trust Fund Offers Potential Source Of Recovery For Those Affected By Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
The oil spill resulting from the catastrophic loss of the Deepwater Horizon represents an unprecedented environmental and economic hazard to the Gulf Coast of the United States.
As those ashore nervously await the arrival of the oil spill, questions naturally arise as to what compensation may be available for the losses likely to be inflicted.
A potential source of compensation is the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF). In particular, any person or organization adversely affected by an oil spill is entitled to submit a claim for compensation from the OSLTF.
