(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 25, 2010 ) New York, NY - ClassAction.org is currently reviewing claims on behalf of individuals and businesses that have suffered financial losses due to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, the oil pollution in the Gulf waters has resulted in devastating effects on both the environment and the economy of the Gulf Coast region. However, businesses, property owners, and workers who have experienced lost revenues or lost wages may be able to file an oil spill claim and recover compensation.
What industries have have been affected by the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill?
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill lawsuit resources on ClassAction.org have recently been updated to include detailed information about several industries that have been negatively affected by the spill. This includes the commercial fishing, shrimping, oyster, and seafood processing industries. These industries depend on a healthy marine life population in the Gulf of Mexico, which is now at risk due to the spreading oil slick. Fishing ground closures and oil contamination have resulted in lost revenues for businesses in these industries, as well as lost wages for their workers.
Businesses and workers involved in the tourism industry have also experienced losses as a result of the BP oil spill. Traditionally, the Gulf of Mexico has been a popular tourist destination for beach lovers, water sports enthusiasts, recreational fishermen, and others who appreciate the natural beauty of the area. However, the oil spill has had a destructive effect on the Gulf tourism industry as tourists are canceling their reservations and choosing other vacation destinations. As a result, owners and employees of restaurants, bars, and hotels, as well as owners of beachfront properties in the Gulf Coast region, are now facing significant economic losses.
What can I do if I have suffered financial losses as a result of the Gulf oil spill?
BP has agreed to place $20 billion in a special fund that will be used to pay for damage claims resulting from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Several oil spill lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of businesses and individuals seeking financial compensation.
