Types of Oil Spill Claims
The recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill began on April 20, 2010, and has already affected people and the environment in a myriad of ways. Businesses are suffering from fishing bans and reduced tourism, while many residents are concerned about the health effects of polluted land, air, fish, and water. Private and public areas have both been damaged by oil and “tar balls” washing onshore.
Some of the people affected by this catastrophe are taking steps to fight back. BP and Transocean, two of the companies involved in the spill, may be responsible for some of the harm it has caused. If so, people and businesses affected by the disaster could be eligible for financial compensation for their losses.
If your health or your business has been harmed by the BP oil spill, you may have grounds for pursuing fair recompense. To learn more about your rights and options, call the Gulf of Mexico oil spill lawsuit attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 800-821-1544.
