NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, announced today that they have increased their capital commitment to business and individuals who have filed claims against B.P. involving the Gulf Oil spill.  Residents of Louisiana LA, Florida FL, Texas TX, and Mississippi MS, who are waiting for their funds from the courts, now have immediate access to cash through Legal-Bay's B.P. cash advance Program. 

On Nov. 1, all B.P. claims either had to be submitted based on the financial formula outlined agreed upon by the court and the defendant's steering committee counsel – or "opt out" and pursue claims against B.P. directly.  Since many business owners, including shrimp fishing boat and seafood restaurant owners, need capital today to remain in business, they have been seeking immediate financing through Legal-Bay.  Legal-Bay's bp claim status funding program typically takes 48 hours to be approved and funded.    

"We have been one of the most active lawsuit funding firms with helping B.P. Plaintiffs from the beginning.  However, now that the payouts continue to be delayed, some of our clients cannot wait any longer.  Whether it is to keep their business afloat or for personal needs over the holidays – we have increased our funding capital specifically for B.P. claimants during this unknown payment period," said Patty Kirby, Head of Client Relations at Legal-Bay. 

Legal-Bay is also running a "Gift Card Promotion" in December, whereas any client who funds between now and 12/31 will receive a free gift card to a retailer of their choice.
