The massive oil spill that resulted from the explosion and sinking of the offshore oil platform Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, is now considered the worst ecological disaster in United States history. The economic impact of the oil spill is affecting thousands who own property or earn their livelihood along the coast. Emmanuel, Sheppard & Condon has served the Gulf Coast community for almost a century, and with the BP oil spill wreaking financial and ecological havoc along the Gulf Coast, our experienced attorneys are prepared to protect your rights.
The wide range of industries and individuals with possible losses due to the oil spill include, but are not limited to, rental management groups, hotels, real estate brokerage firms, restaurants and bars, tourism businesses, commercial fishing businesses, dock and marina owners and operators, and waterfront property owners. A detailed accounting of damages, including lost profits and property damage, is required to make an accurate and full claim for recovery due to the oil spill. Businesses and individuals that suffer damages from the oil spill, including loss of revenue, property damage, and cleanup costs, need to obtain experienced legal counsel as soon as possible to ensure a detailed accounting of these losses.
A $20 billion fund has been created by agreement between the Obama administration and BP officials to compensate victims for economic losses due to the oil spill. The administrator of the $20 billion fund, Mr. Kenneth Feinberg, has stated on numerous occasions that about ninety (90) days after the oil well is capped, the $20 billion fund will stop providing emergency payments and all claimants will be required to make a final demand for payment. Our experienced attorneys are here to help you or your business through the claims process, ensuring you receive full compensation for your losses. If the $20 billion fund does not provide you with the compensation you deserve, our firm is prepared to take all necessary action, including filing a lawsuit, to protect your rights.
