Suppose I have a shrimp boat, and I haven't been able to get out and catch any shrimp because of the oil spill. How do you calculate what I have coming to me? First, it is very hard to calculate losses from a long-term business interruption as long as the leak continues. Once the leak stops, I will sit down with that shrimper. We will try and agree on a loss. I will offer a check. He can either take it or say "no, thank you" and litigate.
