OIL SPILL DISASTER Tuesday, August 10, 2010

The massive oil spill that resulted from the explosion and sinking of the off shore oil platform Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20th, 2010 is now considered the worst ecological disaster in United States history.  The economic impact of the oil spill is affecting thousands who own property or earn their livelihood along the coast.  Emmanuel, Sheppard & Condon has served the Gulf Coast community for almost a century, and with the BP oil spill wreaking financial and ecological havoc along the Gulf Coast, our experienced attorneys are prepared to protect your rights.

The wide range of industries and individuals with possible losses due to the oil spill include, but are not limited to:  rental management groups, hotels, real estate brokerage firms, restaurants & bars, tourism businesses, commercial fishing businesses, dock & marina owners and operators, and waterfront property owners.  A detailed accounting of damages, including lost profits and property damage, is required to make an accurate and full claim for recovery due to the oil spill.  Businesses and individuals that suffer damages from the oil spill, including loss of revenue, property damage, and clean-up costs, need to obtain experienced legal counsel as soon as possible to ensure a detailed accounting of these losses.

The $20 billion fund created by agreement between the Obama Administration and BP officials is here to compensate victims for economic losses due to the oil spill.  The administrator of the $20 billion fund, Mr. Kenneth Feinberg, has stated on numerous occasions that about ninety (90) days after the oil well is capped, the $20 billion fund will stop providing emergency payments and will require all claimants to make a final demand for payment.  Our experienced attorneys are here to help you or your business through the claims process, ensuring you receive full compensation for your losses.  If the $20 billion fund does not provide you with the compensation you deserve, our firm is prepared to take all necessary action, including filing a lawsuit, to protect your rights.

The knowledgeable and skilled attorneys at Emmanuel, Sheppard & Condon will work tirelessly to protect your rights.  If you have suffered losses caused by the oil spill, please call us for a free consultation at 1-800-433-6581 or e-mail us via the following link: http://www.esclaw.com/contact_us.asp
