GULF OF MEXICO OIL DISASTER LAWYERS

Some of your claims for oil spill damages may include:

  • Lost wages
  • Business losses
  • Restaurant losses
  • Tourism-related losses
  • Vacation condominium claims
  • Companies and individuals involved in the commercial fishing, oyster and shrimping industry
  • Companies and individuals involved in the seafood processing/packaging industry
  • Dock and Marina owners/operators
  • Commercial and private boat owners
  • Waterfront property owners and restaurants
  • City, County or State governments

The fishing industry alone in Mississippi has been estimated to be a
$1 billion a year industry. There are commercial fishermen, shrimpers, oystermen, charter boat operators as well as individuals and businesses involved in the seafood distribution and packing business who have already been significantly damaged. There are reports of turtles, catfish, birds, crabs and other wildlife washing ashore.

There are reports from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana that BP has been obtaining releases and waivers from shrimpers and fishermen in exchange for getting their help with the clean-up effort. These releases are overly broad and seek to violate the constitutional rights of our citizens who have already been effected by the oil spill.

Whether and when to proceed with filing a lawsuit is something that you as the individual must decide, and lawyers make strategic decisions as to the timing of filing suit. Given the damage that has already been done and the aggressive tactics used by BP and others trying to protect their bottom line, the affected individual or businesses should take prompt action to protect themselves – and the filing of a lawsuit is a step in that direction.
