First, The Florida BP Oil Spill Claims settlement is based upon damages caused by the oil spill disaster
including the immediate effects of the oil spill to the ripple effects it had on much of Florida’s overall
economy.
The settlement identified areas (zones) where the local economies were damaged directly by
the disaster and other areas that experienced the “ripple effects” from the spill.
Leon County is one of
the outer zones that is included in the damage zones (Zone D).
Second, almost every business in the zones qualifies and is eligible to participate under the ripple effect
theory.
Clearly, most anyone in the tourism industry (defined very broadly in the settlement) was
negatively impacted in an already struggling economic downturn.
This is especially true the closer you
get to the actual coastline and the settlement took that into account by increasing the amount of
damages and reducing the level of proof require
