AG Bondi ‘Troubled’ By BP Oil Spill Settlement
August 2, 2012
In a letter to the general counsel of BP America, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she’s “troubled” about the terms of a settlement reached in litigation in New Orleans over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.
Bondi said the settlement in the case only covers 30 of Florida’s 67 counties, even though a BP fund initially set up to pay some claims ended up approving payments in 66 counties.
While I sincerely hope that BP properly compensates Florida individual and business claimants for the losses they have suffered, either through or outside of the proposed settlement terms, I will, if necessary, use the full power of my office to ensure that BP lives up to its responsibilities under the law,” Bondi wrote.
