Gulf Coast Oil Spill Claims and Lawsuits

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon exploded in the Gulf of Mexico causing the death of 11 workers on the rig. In addition, the explosion caused oil to begin leaking into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of 210,000 gallons a day.

The oil spill and the inability of those who are at fault to stop the spill from continuing has already damaged the fishery eco-system and caused numerous rental cancellations of condos, charter boats, and the like and substantial financial losses to innocent fishermen, oyster harvesters, business owners, boat owners and crews, managers and others. BP and other responsible parties should ultimately be held legally responsible for those losses.

Cunningham Bounds, LLC has filed many lawsuits in Alabama and Florida on behalf of different groups that have been damaged as a result of the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and the oil spill currently in the Gulf of Mexico. The groups we are currently representing include:

• Fishermen, oystermen, crabbers, shrimpers, and seafood processors who derive income and profits from the natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico;
• Rental managers, rental agents, and real estate owners who derive income and profits for the rental of properties situated on coastal environments;
• Charter boat owners, captains and deck hands who derive income and profits from the chartering of fishing vessels;
• Marinas;
• Restaurants located along the Gulf Coast;
• Boat dealerships and their employees; and
• Individuals and businesses that have lost income due to the oil spill.

If you have suffered property damage or loss of income as a result of the oil spill, you may be entitled to compensation.
