How bad did BP get punished for the spill in the gulf?

BP has not paid any fine for the gulf oil spill. In the future they may be forced to pay for the damages caused by the oil spill. It will be decided by judges in court. If BP had spilled oil in the Gulf, then it would be required to pay a fine. However, this was an accident, so it is first necessary to determine whose fault it is that the accident occurred, and then what was the value of the damage from the spill. Both individuals and the US government agencies are preparing to sue BP in court. In the case of individuals, these cases will most likely be consolidated into class-action lawsuits, representing many individual claims. See related links.
