Oil Spill Attorneys

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Oil spill attorneys are busy these days with mounting claims against BP and other companies associated with the Deepwater Horizon explosion on April 20, 2010.  From fishermen who’ve lost income due to the almsot 7.000 square miles of closed Federal waters where fishing is no longer allowed, to shrimping areas which are now off limits, commerical fishermen are losing income every day now for a month.

Oil spill attorneys representing plaintiffs in class action suits allege that the explosion was preventable and cleanup is inadequate and slow,  causing great loss of income to fishermen.  Also suffering loss are property owners and anyone involved in the tourism industry.  According to oil spill attorneys in the region, once oil reaches the major shipping channels, shipping will be slowed down.  Delays will ensue, making goods more expensive for anyone in the Gulf coast area.

BP Lawsuit

Monday, May 10th, 2010

It’s almost one entire month now since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico.  The list of potential victims, beyond the creatures that live in and around the water, grows longer every day.  Property owners and shrimpers are just the beginning.  Oil Spill class action lawsuits have already been formed, with several defendants named.

But so far, the biggest claims are in the BP lawsuit category.  BP has been the most visible entity in this environmental disaster, with the head of BP, John Browne, speaking out on national news almost every day.  BP is the spearhead of the entire drilling operation on this well, from leasing the rig to managing the various sub contracting companies who manufacture the equipment, perform checks and repairs and other services on the drilling operation.

Keep your eyes open in the near future because the BP lawsuit is going to grow and develop quickly.
