HOUSTON – December 7, 2012 – Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (PKF Texas) has expanded its capabilities using a proprietary claims process model to provide consulting services to businesses looking to file economic loss claims as part of a class action suit, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The settlement and claims consulting team assists business owners in their investigation of potential claims and helps identify economic losses in relation to the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Agreement. In addition, PKF Texas can assist with the actual claim filing process.

“As an accounting firm, we are uniquely qualified to assist business owners with analyzing their financial data in order to help determine whether or not they should file a claim,” said Kenneth Guidry, CPA, President.

Business owners with operations located in the economic loss zones (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida or Texas) can visit www.PKFTexas.com/DeepwaterHorizonSettlementClaimsConsulting/ if they have questions when investigating their claim options.

PKF Texas’ modeling tool is effective in determining the likelihood of a claimant recovering damages; however, the claims administrator ultimately determines which elements qualify and what recoveries may be allowed, if any.
