Mississippi BP Oil Spill Attorneys
On April 20, 2010, a methane explosion on the BP-operated rig Deepwater Horizon tragically took eleven lives and caused a massive oil spill that continues to grow today. While the first state affected was Louisiana, the problem has continued to grow and is now affecting nearby areas. Oil began to reach the barrier islands of Mississippi in early June, and the tourism industry in the state began suffering even before that.
Tourism is not the only industry in Mississippi that has suffered since the oil spill began. The seafood industry has also been greatly limited by federal restrictions on fishing in affected areas. In addition, residents are becoming concerned about the health consequences of polluted air, water, fish, and land.
If you have suffered financially or medically due to the oil spill, you may have grounds for legal action. The Mississippi Gulf of Mexico oil spill lawyers of Williams Kherkher can help you understand your rights and decide what steps to take next. For more information, call our offices at 800-821-1544.
