Oil Spill Loss of Income Claim Lawyers
Perhaps no industry was so suddenly and negatively affected by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill as was the tourism industry. Every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans head to the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida for a little fun in the sun. But the oil spill, which occurred at the height of the summer tourist season, caused many people to cancel their reservations.
The economy of the region largely depends on tourist dollars, so the sudden loss of tourist income was devastating. Many business owners filed claims for compensation for lost tourism revenue, but unfortunately, many had their claims rejected. If this describes your situation, you may still have options.
