Our attorneys have already filed lawsuits against the companies involved in the BP Gulf oil spill disaster.
Our firm is seeking compensation for people who are unable to earn a livelihood in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama due to the creeping oil slick.
Our lawsuits, filed by a consortium of lawyers against BP, Halliburton, Cameron and other parties, seek to recover damages suffered by our clients as a result of the oil spill. These lawsuits allege, in part, that Defendants knew of the dangers associated with deep-water drilling and failed to take appropriate measures to prevent damages to our clients and the environment in which they live and work.
The fast-moving oil slick has already or is threatening to devastate marine and coast environments, and estuarine areas of Florida, which are used for fishing and to earn a livelihood. Some of our plaintiffs are owners of wholesale and retail seafood businesses; others are owners of commercial fisheries. All their livelihoods are now at risk as a result of the spill.
The Gulf region accounts for about a fifth of total U.S. commercial seafood production and nearly three quarters of the nation’s shrimp output, while nearly a third of all marine recreational fishing trips take place on Gulf waters, according to the Fisheries Service of the NOAA.
Louisiana has a $3 billion fishing industry and is the source of a third of the seafood consumed in the U.S., according to the Louisiana Seafood Marketing and Promotion Board, a state-run agency.
