The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has had far-reaching effects on a number of types of businesses, including restaurants and bars that depend on seafood for a large portion of their profits. As part of its effort to help those who have been negatively affected by this environmental catastrophe, ClassAction.org is currently offering a Free Case Evaluation to owners of restaurants and bars that have suffered financial losses as a result of the oil spill.
Although it is impossible to foresee exactly how the BP oil spill will impact the various businesses that depend upon the Gulf waters, it is possible that a seafood shortage could occur if the fish estuaries in the Gulf waters are damaged by oil contamination. This, in turn, could result in a seafood shortage. It has been predicted that restaurants along the Gulf coast may be forced to import seafood from the East Coast at inflated prices if a seafood shortage occurs.
Consumer concerns regarding seafood contamination is another issue that restaurant and bar owners are facing. Many restaurants that serve fish, crabs, and other types of seafood are expecting a decline in business due to consumers’ belief that the seafood may be contaminated. Dining spots that are located in popular tourist areas in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are also experiencing losses, as vacationers are cancelling their trips to Gulf Coast destinations in favor of other locations that have not been affected by the oil spill.
