ClassAction.org Reviews BP Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Claims on Behalf of Commercial Fishermen

(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 30, 2010 ) New York, NY - ClassAction.org is currently investigating claims on behalf of those involved in the Gulf Coast commercial fishing industry who have sustained financial losses as a result of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This includes fishermen, boat owners, and others who are dealing with lost revenues and lost wages due to fishing ground closures and oil contamination in the Gulf waters. ClassAction.org is dedicated to protecting the rights of businesses and workers who have been negatively affected by the oil spill.

The Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in April 2010 and the subsequent oil spill have had a detrimental effect on both the environment and the economy in the Gulf coast states. The commercial fishing industry was particularly hard hit by this catastrophe. As the oil slick continues to spread throughout the region, fishing boats remain docked and fishermen, anglers, boat captains, and deckhands are unable to work. Many of these individuals are now facing reduced hours, lost wages, and lost revenues.

Beyond these short term hardships, oil spill is putting the entire Gulf of Mexico ecosystem at risk. Fish and marine life populations may take years to recover from the harmful effects of the oil contamination. As a result, it remains to be seen how long the BP oil spill will have a negative influence on the Gulf of Mexico commercial fishing industry.

Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, commercial fishermen in the Gulf Coast region may be entitled to compensation for the financial losses they have suffered as a result of the oil spill. For more information about how the commercial fishing industry has been affected by the Gulf oil spill, as well as the rights of commercial fishermen who want to pursue an oil spill claim, visit http://www.classaction.org/commercial-fishing-industry-oil-spill-lawsuits.html. A Free Case Evaluation is currently being offered to Gulf Coast commercial fishermen by ClassAction.org. A Gulf oil spill attorney can determine if you are entitled to compensation for your losses and help you pursue justice through a commercial fishing loss of business lawsuit.
