Shrimpers
Shrimpers are an important part of the fishing community that has thrived in Louisiana for some time. 90 million pounds of shrimp come through the state yearly as the state leads the nation in the small seafood's production. With the seafood industry as a whole valued at approximately $2.4 billion dollars, the oil slick has become a large problem and concern for these shrimpers unable to collect. Aside from the areas closed off by the government to prevent tainted collections, the unknown damage that will last long-term remains unclear and worrisome to say the least.
Louisiana's legal system provides the opportunity to shrimpers to hold BP responsible for their lost production. Whether through the claims process or in litigation, or even in a possible settlement. While our firm is looking for additional members to our class action against the oil manufacturer, individual claims are available as well. These additional claims will target the specific ways in which the gallons of crude oil spit into the Gulf have harmed shrimpers and other fisherman in Louisiana cities such as Venice, Terrebonne Parish and elsewhere.
Essential to these forms of compensation for damages, financial records showing previous harvests, personal income, business gains and other detailed information all can show reduced production as a result of the oil leak. What's more, specific documentation can also be an essential cog to litigation our attorneys can pursue for you. By being ahead of the curve and having a well-prepared set of documents that can illustrate in different ways the plight shrimpers find themselves because of the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, our firm can get you the financial restitution you deserve.
Shrimpers work in an industry in which cash is often used and paper receipts are not always common in transactions, especially in smaller communities like those in Southeast Louisiana. The Berniard Law Firm can help you by utilizing a variety of related documentation, experts and legal arguments that will help give voice to your loss. Though it's unclear how long the BP oil leak will cause harm to the variety of fishing communities, hiring the proper attorney can help ensure that any future financial losses will be covered as well.
