In recent news about the BP spill, lawyer Robin Greenwald, head of the Environmental and Toxic Torts unit of our firm, was interviewed about the enormous, ever-widening effect it is having in communities along the coast.

"There are so many injured parties here," said Greenwald. "The list is almost endless. You have the traditional fishermen that we've heard a lot about. People who made their livelihood in fishing, in particular seasons, which is right now."

Beyond the people who were injured or killed in the drilling rig disaster, and the marine life struggling to survive amid the contamination from the BP oil spill, "There's so much collateral damage," said Greenwald. "There is the fishing industry, the hotel industry that is going to lose a tremendous amount of business. And then there's the restaurateurs, the small businesses that supply the tourism in this area."

Greenwald also cited people working for the area businesses, saying that people are forgetting about the secondary staff. For example, the busboys and the waitresses and the waiters of the restaurants, and the people who clean the hotel rooms. "The ripple effect here is extraordinary."
