Chamber holds BP oil spill claims process meeting
On July 8th starting at 5 p.m., the Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a meeting to provide information and help for the claims process created by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The meeting will be held in the Lido Room at the Pink Shell Beach Resort located at 275 Estero Boulevard.
The chamber has invited legal and insurance experts to share with us their experience and up-to-date knowledge of the oil spill crisis including:
1) Facts and figures on economic impact
2) What this means for our community
3) What qualifies as a legitimate claim
4) What is required for “proof of loss”
5) How the compensation process works
The meeting is informational only and is geared toward the claims process and not litigation. It will feature a presentation from the Law firm of Searcy, Denny, Scarola, Barnhart & Shipley, a nationally recognized law firm out of West Palm Beach. The firm was recommended by the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce’s Law firm of Knott, Consour, Ebellini, Sweat, et al with George Knott being directly involved in helping Chamber members through this important process. This West Palm Beach firm has earned the right to be listed on a “Superior Law Firm” list due to their efforts helping people, communities, and governments deal with major companies.
