April 20, 2010 was a dark day for anyone whose livelihood or lifestyle depends on the Gulf of Mexico.  Occurring just two days before Earth Day, a virtual slap in the face to environmentalists everywhere, the Deepwater Horizon Rig exploded and began gushing oil into the Gulf waters about fifty miles from the shores of the state of Louisiana.  As a result, many people stand to lose income, livelihood, and property due to leakage that may reach shore or harm the ecosystem on which they depend.  This has already led to a series of oil spill class action lawsuits.

From commercial fishermen, shrimpers, and crab men to owners of real estate on the Gulf shores, there is great potential for harm and lost income and property values.  A number of companies are named in the oil spill class action lawsuits, including BP.

As the nation nears the one month anniversary of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, discussions emerge on the impact of aquatic life in the area.  The Gulf of Mexico supports thousands of species of marine life forms, including millions of fish.  Based on harm to the marine ecosystem due to oil leakage from the Deepwater Horizon,  BP class action lawsuits are now in the making.

There are already ten law firms throughout the country representing people who allege they’ve been harmed by the oil spill.  This harm comes in many forms, from property damage, loss of job and loss of income.   Major tenants of the BP class action lawsuits allege that the explosion on the rig was preventable, and the cleanup is taking too long while damage to the ecosystem on which people depend for a living, continues to mount.

If you’ve been watching the news lately, you may have seen rumblings in the legal arenas, with current activities focusing on a BP class action lawsuit.  Almost a dozen law firms are already involved, in numerous states that line the Gulf of Mexico.  States in Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana are involved in the BP class action lawsuit currently underway.

After the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig, which occurred on April 20 of this year, thousands of gallons of oil have been leaked into the Gulf of Mexico per day.  This endangers wildlife, marine ecosystems, fishing industries, tourism, and real estate.   Lawyers involved in the BP class action lawsuit are learning that the range of industries and people affected by the oil is quite wide.  From property owners to cooks at restaurants to shrimpers, it’s touched everyone in the Gulf.
