BP Claims Could Exceed $20 Billion, Says Fund Chief Feinberg

The $20 billion fund set up to help compensate victims of BP Plc’s devastating Gulf of Mexico spill does not prevent future lawsuits against the company that exceed that amount, the fund’s administrator said on Friday.
Kenneth Feinberg, who also oversaw the U.S. bank bailout fund known as TARP, told reporters at a news conference that the BP fund did not represent a cap on legal actions against the firm.
“The notion that the fund is there simply to insulate BP from lawsuits I think is very unfair,” Feinberg said.
Apartment living isn’t for everyone. You generally need to fit your family into a smaller space, you give up a personal yard (and a lawn mower, generally), and you have to suffer with sharing the swimming pool with your neighbors. And sometimes the fitness room, too. But if you think that apartment living might be right for you and your family, contact your renters insurance agent and start looking for a great apartment.
