US-OIL-ACCIDENT-LITIGATION-BP-FILES
(FILES) A fishing boat drags an oil boom through an oil slick that has passed inside of the protective barrier formed by the Chandeleur Islands, as cleanup operations continue for the BP Deepwater Horizon platform disaster off Louisiana, in this May 7, 2010, file photo. US District Judge Carl Barbier ruled on September 4, 2014, that the massive 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill was due to BP's "gross negligence," potentially subjecting the oil giant to billions of dollars in additional fines. Barbier ruled that BP is "subject to enhanced civil penalties" after concluding that the environmental disaster was the result of the British company's "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct." The ruling could expose BP to a reported $18 billion in additional damages following Deepwater Horizon disaster, which resulted in 11 deaths and an 87-day oil spill. AFP PHOTO/Mark RALSTON/FILES
