If you work in an industry or own a business that was impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion you are entitled to collect damages for loss of income and profits. Such damages are allowed under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. If you suffered a loss of income because of this oil spill, you are entitled to damages equal to the loss of profits or impairment of earning capacity due to the injury, destruction, or loss of property or natural resources. Anyone with loss of profits or income may make such a claim. You do not have to own the damaged property or resources to submit a claim.
