"MOBILE, Alabama -- There’s a new Ken Feinberg in town, and he’s opening 18 offices Monday to accept claims from Gulf oil spill victims.
Patrick Juneau, a Louisiana lawyer appointed by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to oversee the implementation of a lawsuit settlement negotiated with BP PLC, announced that all 18 claims offices will open simultaneously.
Juneau immediately became the face of the claims process, replacing the much-maligned Feinberg, who oversaw the distribution of funds to people and businesses who agreed not to sue BP for its role in the April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
Juneau, in fact, already has been running the program since Feinberg gave up the role. But Monday is the official date for the new process to begin."
