(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 01, 2010 ) New York, NY - ClassAction.org is currently offering a Free Case Review to individuals and businesses involved in the Gulf of Mexico shrimping industry who are interested in pursuing a BP oil spill lawsuit. Shrimpers throughout the Gulf Coast region have been experiencing lost revenues and lost wages since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in April. ClassAction.org is dedicated to helping those who have been negatively affected by this catastrophe recover the oil spill compensation they need and deserve.
The shrimping industry is an important part of the economy economy in several Gulf Coast states, including Louisiana and Alabama. However, the spreading oil slick has resulted in fishing ground closures that have restricted shrimp fishermenÂ’s ability to harvest the shrimp that they depend on for their livelihoods. As a result, many shrimpers are facing significant financial losses and an uncertain future. To make matters worse, it may take years before the Gulf of Mexico shrimp population recovers from this environmental disaster, so shrimpers may be facing economic challenges for years to come.
A law known as the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 states that employees and businesses that suffer losses as a result of an oil spill may be eligible to collect damages. Therefore, shrimpers who have suffered economic losses as a result of the Gulf oil spill may be eligible to participate in an oil spill lawsuit and recover financial compensation. Several lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of commercial shrimp fishermen whose income has been threatened by the oil spill.
