Morgan & Morgan Reviews Claims for Gulf of Mexico Charter Fishing Guides Facing Loss of Income

Morgan and Morgan’s BP oil spill attorneys are currently reviewing claims on behalf of fishing guides who have lost income due to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Charter fishing guide businesses are one of the many groups that have suffered economic losses as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and the subsequent oil spill that has leaked thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Morgan & Morgan, a national law firm with offices throughout Florida and the Southeast, is currently representing numerous individuals and businesses in BP oil spill lawsuits in order to help them recover compensation for financial losses sustained as a result of this environmental catastrophe.

Prior to the BP oil spill, the waters of the Gulf Coast attracted large numbers of tourists to the area each year. In previous years, fishing guides had clients come from all over the world to fish for red snapper, red drum, black drum, wahoo, and other types of fish in the Gulf of Mexico. These fishing guides make their living by providing visitors with chartered fishing trips in the Gulf waters. However, with the Gulf of Mexico’s marine life and accessible fishing areas in jeopardy as a result of the oil spill, fishing guides face cancellations, loss of income, and an uncertain future.

The devastating environmental consequences of the BP oil spill have essentially created a financial disaster for fishing guides that own and operate chartered boats in the Gulf of Mexico. Boat rental companies, tackle and bait shops, fishing equipment rental companies, and sporting goods stores are among the related businesses that also depend on the Gulf of Mexico fishing industry and are now experiencing financial strain.  Many fishing guides who operate in the Gulf of Mexico have already been severely impacted by canceled bookings and lost revenues attributed to the spill. Morgan and Morgan is currently reviewing claims on behalf of charter fishing guides in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other Gulf Coast areas.

If you are a fishing guide whose business has been adversely affected by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses.
