On April 20, the tragic Deepwater Horizon oil rig fire and explosion killed 11 workers on the oil platform operated by BP. Since then BP’s negligence also has led to environmental and economic devastation along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, ruining businesses and livelihoods.
Such innocent victims of the BP oil spill deserve and have a legal right to financial compensation, and veteran Gulf Coast law firm Jim S. Adler & Associates is determined to get it for them.
Almost two months after the oil spill began spewing millions of gallons of crude oil into Gulf waters, the toxic oil’s invasion of the Gulf still has not been stopped. Meanwhile, as the oil spill spreads, thousands of individuals and businesses face economic disaster, from fishermen, shrimpers and oyster harvesters to restaurants, hotels, motels and other tourism enterprises along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas.
BP already had established a horrible record for safety standards, when common sense dictated more care and caution. Such negligence clearly makes British Petroleum responsible for billions of dollars in damages that it’s caused. BP’s American victims now have a legal right to seek recovery via an oil spill lawsuit. They can do so with help from the Gulf Coast law firm of Jim S. Adler & Associates, which can press a BP oil spill lawsuit in their behalf.
“That oil is destroying a precious habitat and a way of life that make us strong and independent,” says Jim Adler, founder of Jim S. Adler & Associates. “It’s as toxic as British Petroleum’s safety record,” he said, noting the deaths of 15 BP workers at a Texas City, TX refinery in 2005.
The White House is calling for BP to establish an independent victims’ compensation fund to ensure that many people aren’t financially ruined by BP’s failures. Expected to be run by a third party, such a fund would help provide economic recovery for some BP oil spill victims.
To guide his response to BP’s oil spill catastrophe, President Obama has recently toured the coasts of Florida, Mississippi and Alabama. Texas and Louisiana also are economically impacted by the oil spill crisis. Such states have tourism and fishing industries which were worth billions of dollars until BP’s negligence hit so hard.
“A lawsuit is your fundamental American right,” say Adler. “BP is ruining lives and families in five states. But your family does not have to suffer because some foreign company ignored common sense safety rules and wanted to profit at your expense. I’ll take your outrage and get you what you deserve.
