SPANISH FORT, Ala. — The amount of oil-spill claims paid in Alabama might lag in dollars and cents, contrasted with Louisiana and Florida, but the most recent figures released by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility indicate an equitable nearly 27 percent of all claims filed has been processed in each state.

The data was published Tuesday on the independent facility’s website, www.gulfcoastclaimsfacility.com, and represent tallies through Monday.

According to the figures, of the 14,110 claims filed in Alabama since the spill began more than four months ago, 3,838 claims totaling $28.23 million have been paid, representing 27.13 percent of all claims filed. Some 10,282 claims—concentrated heavily in Baldwin and Mobile counties—are pending statewide.

By comparison, Louisiana claimants have collected $57 million to date but represent 26.44 percent of all claims filed in that state, and Florida claimants have collected $37.55 million but represent 27.65 of total Floridian claims filed.

Murray Crompton of Mobile, a partner in his cousin’s Orange Beach boat charter service, said he had little faith business owners would be treated fairly when the claims process shifted from BP PLC to the independent facility on Aug. 23.

“We basically had to start all over again submitting the documentation we’d already provided, and I thought to myself, ‘This is not going to end well,’” he said.

The independent-claims operation, overseen by claims-czar Kenneth Feinberg, is paying individuals and businesses from a $20 billion fund set up by BP, the company deemed the responsible party in the April 20 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that triggered the discharge of hundreds of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Although Crompton does not rely personally on the boat charter business to feed his family, he is hopeful the claim his cousin re-filed Friday will be approved in short order because his loved ones on the coast are struggling to survive.

“They keep talking about making everybody whole, and maybe taking (payments) out of the hands of the folks who caused it will have better results, but it still feels like starting from scratch,” Crompton said.

According to Monday’s figures, some 884 Alabama businesses have received $8.19 million, and more than 2,900 individual claimants have collected about $20 million in emergency payments to date.
