Shrimpers, Fishing and Charter Boat Owners
The oil spill in the Gulf is affecting shrimpers, the fishing industry and charter boat owners in a unique way. With many parts of the Gulf closed and the sea life being dispersed by the oil, these industries have been left without work. Naturally, the oil spill has also severely depressed demand for tourism and charter boat trips in the region. These industries are feeling the effects of:
- Reduced or displaced employment
- Loss of income
- Clean up costs
- Pollutants and hazardous contaminants discharged in the water
If you’re a shrimper, fisherman or charter boat owner along the Gulf Coast, Brent Coon & Associates can help you recoup the losses you’re experiencing as a result of the oil spill.
Our firm is at the epicenter of the oil spill litigation and nobody understands BP better than us.
We have built the most comprehensive understanding of BP’s corporate culture of any law firm in the United States. As Lead Counsel in the 2005 BP Texas City litigation, we reviewed seven million documents, taped over 10,000 hours of depositions from BP employees and industry experts, spent millions of dollars and took the fight to depose BP’s CEO Lord John Browne all the way to the Texas Supreme Court.
Now we’re taking on the oil giant once again!
BCA has offices all along the Gulf Coast and is considered the world’s foremost experts on BP. Mr. Coon and his team are appearing on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and every major news network on an ongoing basis as the primary legal spokespeople for the oil spill litigation. Our firm led the charge against British Petroleum following the 2005 explosion at the BP Texas City Refinery that killed 15 people. Brent Coon was awarded the “Lawyer of the Year” award by the American Association for Justice for his efforts.
