The "short form" designed to allow claimants to join the Multi-District Litigation currently ongoing in New Orleans is due by Wednesday, April 20, 2011. There is no fee to file, and it can be filed electronically and without legal aid.
Regardless of whether your claim has been paid or denied, if you have outstanding damages arising out of the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, it may be beneficial to you to join the MDL.
The MDL court will try the limitation of liability portion of the trial against Transocean on February 27, 2012.
