BP has spent billions of dollars since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, yet 12 years after the disaster, new lawsuits continue to pop up.
“These cases take a while,” said Elsa De Lima, a Miami-based lawyer who was in Mobile Friday to talk to clients and other who believe they have claims. “You know, I get the question all the time. ‘How are you still litigating this case? This happened all the way in 2010.’”
“I didn’t think a lot about it,” he said. “At my age, that was sort of normal. And I was able to get that taken care of through surgery.” “That’s the only answer I can find, is that I had to be impacted by the benzene in the dispersant,” he said. People who worked on oil spill cleanup or lived in close proximity to the spill, have four years from the time they are diagnosed with a long-term illness to file suit. Others have three years from the date they knew or should have know that their illnesses resulted from exposure to the spill.“You know, kids do not get exposed in occupational settings because they don’t work,” she said.
