Excerpt:

BP approximates it will pay $ 7. 8 billion to fix more than 100,000 cases by businesses and individuals. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier authorized the settlement in a 125-page ruling Friday. He composed that the settlement is reasonable, sensible and ample -- and no objection has proved otherwise. Barbier has not ruled on a medical settlement for cleanup workers and others who state exposure to oil or dispersants made them ill -- just on economic and property damage settlements. The settlement covers individuals and businesses in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and some coastal counties in eastern Texas and western Florida.
