Two law firms in New Orleans and Lafayette that led the massive BP oil spill litigation are set to receive $87.8 million each under a proposed division of about $680 million in class-action attorney fees, according to a court filing this week.

A proposed split of about $680 million -- not including reimbursed expenses -- was filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans this week. The two firms getting the biggest chunk of the award are Herman, Herman & Katz of New Orleans and Domengeaux, Wright, Roy & Edwards of Lafayette with $87.8 million each. Cunningham Bounds of Mobile, Alabama, and Weitz & Luxenberg of New York are set to receive about $42 million each. Nearly two dozen firms based in New Orleans are proposed to get a combined $243 million.

I got paid a bottle of bourbon for filing a loss-of-use claim on a condo. It's not 87 mil but still pretty good

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you are ever seriously injured, do not join a class action.
Now, if you're just mad that they filled your 8 oz tuna can with 7.8 oz of tuna, hell, go for it.

I'm not sure, but I know a guy who was on the platform at the time and I think he received 1.5 mil or something around that.
