As BP Oil Spill Ravages Gulf Coast Tourism Industry, Morgan & Morgan Steps Up to Represent Tourism Businesses

The attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are currently reviewing claims on behalf of those involved with the Gulf Coast tourism industry who have suffered financial losses as a result of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The world has been watching with a combination of shock, horror, and anger as an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in April led to a massive oil spill that has contaminated the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The destructive effects of this disaster on both the environment and the economy surrounding the Gulf of Mexico have been overwhelming, and its effects will likely continue to be felt for years to come. Morgan and Morgan, a national law firm with offices throughout Florida and the Southeast, is dedicated to representing the interests of those who have been negatively affected by the BP oil spill. While fighting for compensation for those who have suffered losses, Morgan and Morgan will make every effort to ensure that the parties whose negligence contributed to this catastrophe are held accountable for their actions.

The beaches and coastal areas surrounding the Gulf of Mexico have long been regarded as prime vacation destinations for tourists year round. The Gulf Coast tourism industry consists of a variety of businesses that exist to serve and accommodate travelers who come to the area to enjoy its warm climate, diverse wildlife, and countless opportunities for marine recreational activities, such as fishing, swimming, and boating. Since the BP oil spill, widespread rental cancellations have already been reported in Coastal Alabama and Florida, and plummeting property values on coastal homes and businesses are expected as the oil slick continues to spread throughout the Gulf of Mexico.

While the overall economic impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on the tourism industry remains to be seen, this environmental disaster will clearly have a negative effect on those businesses that depend upon the natural beauty of the area to attract visitors from around the world. Hotels, marinas, restaurants, and boat dealerships are just a few of the types of businesses that may suffer as a result of the BP oil spill. Morgan and Morgan attorney Scott Weinstein is actively reviewing claims for tourism businesses in Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and other areas that have experienced financial losses as a result of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
