Loss of Income Damages from Oil Spills

Under federal law, businesses or individuals who have lost profits or income due to an oil spill may submit a claim for lost profits or earning capacity.  Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, those parties responsible for the spill must pay compensation for damages suffered as a result of an oil spill.

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.

To be valid, you must be able to prove the damage was caused by an oil spill that falls under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.

• Oil must have caused the damage.
• The damage must come about as a result of a discharge or substantial threat of discharge of oil
• The discharge or substantial threat of discharge must be to a navigable water of the United States.
• The discharge or substantial threat of discharge must come from a vessel or facility
