Is BP responsible for the loss of my business?
Many Gulf coast businesses are reeling from the massive BP oil spill. Tourism, commercial fishing,seafood processing and oil production are mainstays of the Gulf economy and all have been hard hit by the oil spill. Despite the losses the businesses have experienced, their suppliers still demand to be paid, and employees still expect a regular paycheck. Many businesses fear they may not be able to keep operating.
It is too early to quantify all the economic damage caused by the oil spill. BP certainly is responsible for your loss of business to the extent it can be linked directly to the oil spill. Other companies involved in the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion also may share responsibility. Those businesses that have been less directly affected by the spill also may have valid claims.
If you have a business that has lost profits as a result of the BP oil spill, you may be able to claim compensation under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Contact an experienced Oil Pollution Act lawyer atArnold & Itkin LLP for a free evaluation of your situation.
