Following the explosions of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, millions of people living and working on the gulf were affected when 5 million barrels of oil spewing into the gulf.

This includes residents, boat captains and other businesses in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana.

Since that time, those affected have had the option of filing a claim against BP and other companies involved in order to recover lost finances, yet many of those claimants have discovered that the process is often delayed, blocked or outright denied.

Many victims are left in confusion, not knowing how to file a claim, check on the status of their claim, or handle a claim that has been denied. This includes the many boat captains that participate in the Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) program, who were hired to help in the cleanup process but have yet to be paid.

According to advocacy group BP-Claim.com, this process can now be navigated faster and easier with their help. BP-Claim.com was founded in May 2010 and since that time has helped more than 200,000 victims with the BP claim issues. The site's main purpose is to aid BP oil spill sufferers in recovering their money and filing a BP claim.

Receiving a BP claim necessitates filing a claim, and often these claims are denied.

Even if the victims claim is denied by the GCCF (Gulf Coast Claims Facility), BP-Claims will arrange it so that claim can then be handled by an attorney, who can then bring the case up again, and even find out exactly why it was denied in the first place. The oil spill all work on a no-cure-no-pay system so the victim doesn't have to pay anything before they get their compensation.

Claimants have discovered that it is fast and less stressful to have their claims handled through BP-Claim.com, instead of doing it themselves.

BP-Claim.com was one of the first websites established to aid the victims of the BP oil spill, starting in May of 2010.

They have helped people navigate the claim system and receive the money they are owed by both BP and the GCCF. 'BP-Claim.com has a proven track record of getting denied claims paid, and vows to continue doing so until every victim has been compensated,' says the Founder.
