Residential oil spills are a high-risk situation for all parties involved; they pose a significant threat to the environment and can prove to be extremely costly. According to the IBC, from 2008 to 2011, $78.5 million was paid out on oil tank spills.
When an oil tank leaks, there is a very short window of opportunity in which to collect all of the necessary information, so it is critical to have a strategy in place. Because of the complexity of these claims, often there are a lot of stakeholders involved on the onset; and more people create more opportunities for the scene to be contaminated which can result in errors that compromise the integrity of the physical evidence.
Do you know all the questions you should be asking right away?
Do you know what essential pieces of information should be collected?
Do you know what to do and what NOT to do in oil spill claims?
Do you know have a response plan in place?
From the moment you are notified of an oil leak/spill, you MUST react quickly to mitigate the loss, while balancing the need to getting all the appropriate experts out to document the scene and evidence.
