Spokesman Scott Dean says BP isn't commenting on two lawsuits seeking class-action status in U.S. District Court in Hammond. Each lead plaintiff in the cases filed Friday alleges the recalled gas caused repair bills of nearly $1,000 or more.
Dean says BP has already begun paying claims and expects payments to accelerate as it receives copies of customers' repair receipts.
