Horrors of Underground Storage Tank Reimbursement
As Halloween approaches, it’s time for spook and ghoul enthusiasts everywhere to put the final touches on their plans for a frightful night of horror-filled fun. No matter how much you like to be “spooked,” there are some scares that no individual should tolerate, like the avoidable losses from mistakes made during an underground storage tank (UST) cleanup claim or the little monster of an inefficient process that is disrupting your business.
Good News in Indiana! Changes to UST Cleanup Reimbursement Law
Effective July 1, 2017, Indiana House Bill 1495 will benefit claimants of the Excess Liability Trust Fund (ELTF). Costs paid by the claimant to technicians for services performed in preparation of the claimant’s ELTF claim will be reimbursable. So, reasonable costs for obtaining professional assistance with claims will no longer be an out-of-pocket expense for claimants.
