I know everyone has heard about the tragic oil spill off of the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. Obviously, the environmental fallout may be the worst that we have ever experienced. Unfortunately, the economic consequences to a multitude of businesses will be just as devastating. The fishing, oyster, and shrimping industries are going to be decimated by this preventable tragedy; businesses both large and small centered around tourism and catering to travel will also be destroyed by the spill. Specifically, some of the groups we have already been contacted by, or are likely to have significant claims include:
1. Fishermen, oyster harvesters, shrimpers and all businesses involved in the processing and packaging of the fishing industry;
2. Owners and crews/employees of charter and private boats, condos, restaurants, Marinas and docks;
3. Businesses catering to the Tourism industry and private property owners; and
4. Local City, County, Parrish, and State governments.
If you know of anyone that we may be able to help in Louisiana, Alabama, or Florida, please let us know. Likewise, while Texas has not yet been directly affected, consider the aforementioned list and let us know about your friends, acquaintances, or family in those businesses in Texas - - the scope of this spill may affect Texas as well.
Thank you for your support as we work to help victims of this tragedy.
