At marinas
across the Gulf today...
I had to give them this paperwork
three times.
Frustrated fishermen who
haven't been able to work
since the oil spill told us that
BP is doing everything
to refuse paying their claims.
Today, Darrell Moreaux
went to the claims office
for the fourth time
with a fistful of receipts
hoping he prove his way
into a $5,000 check.
BP says it's swamped with claims:
more than 100,000 so far.
And they told us today that,
yes, about half the claims
had not yet been approved,
as many as 50,000.
We have to do our due diligence
to ensure
that the people who are
coming in and filing claims
truly have a legitimate claim
against BP.
Where am I going to go?
Who do I need to talk to
to pay my electric bill
for this month, my water bill?
メキシコ湾岸では…
3回も申請しました。
仕事ができず
いらだつ漁師たちは―
「BPは請求を 認める気がない」と言う。
この男性が窓口に来るのは4回目。
領収書の束を手に
5,000ドルの支払いを求めた。
BPには10万件以上の請求が
殺到しているが―
まだその半分の5万件しか
承認されていないと言う。
我々も精査する必要があるのです。
請求の内容が妥当だということを
途方に暮れています。
今月の電気代すら払えません。
