Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

As Of May, 10 2010, almost a month after the oil spill approximately, My asthma has been severe, and according to the affects of Benzene exposure listed online, I am also suffering other symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and trouble breathing during the day. Can I, being in the Tampa Bay, Florida area take civil action against BP because I feel that these problems are being caused by the oil spill in the Gulf?
