The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center Increases Its Victims Initiative For Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama & Florida Property Owners

Washington, DC (Vocus) June 7, 2010

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is all about being an advocate for the mostly voiceless victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill-now officially the worst oil spill in US history. So who are the victims? The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, “every fisherman, or potentially every fishing camp owner in Louisiana is a victim, with oil washing ashore from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Pensicola, Florida-every waterfront property owner is a victim-or potential victim, as are hotel owners, restaurant owners, fishing guides,Oystermen, or anyone else who depends upon a healthy Gulf of Mexico.” The group says,” our major push right now is to get Louisiana fishing camp owners identified, along with waterfront property owners in Mississippi, Alabama & the pan handle of Florida-in the hopes knowing who lost what & when—with respect to property values-or business. We fear its going to be in the billions.” The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center wants to identify Louisiana fishing camp owners, or other US Gulf States property-business owners now-so they can begin the potential loss of value estimations, & calculations.For more information Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama property owners, or business owners can contact the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center says, “we think it is a national disgrace that it took President Obama & his Administration a month to figure out the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill was your basic biblical disaster. After not saying a word in public about another biblical type homeowner disaster called toxic Chinese drywall-for over a year-also effecting Gulf States property owners-we were not surprised-it was just more Change he promised.” The group says, “the $ 64,000 question is why is BP still running the show? Doesn’t something so bad—that it could literally effect millions of US citizens deserve a real federal response-not a BP is still running the show?” The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, we really need to hear from fishing camp owners in Louisiana, waterfront property owners in Mississippi, Alabama & Florida & business owners in all US Gulf States effected by this tragedy-now. This is going to linger on for months-we need to know who you are. We have zero faith BP really cares about you, nor do we think President Obama-or his Administration get it.” For more information effected parties can call the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

The group is saying, “so 1000′s of Louisiana fishing camp owners, who have just seen a 50% or more devaluation of their property have no claim? That’s nonsense, and we want to hear from all property owners who have suffered a loss in their property’s value due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.” For more information please contact the Gulf Oil Spill Help Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

The Gulf Oil Spill Help Center is saying, “what if 170,000,000 gallons of crude oil were washing ashore in New York state or California? Would those property owners be told ‘you do not have a claim’ on the loss of your property’s value?” Http://GulfOilSpillHelpCenter.Com

Alabama Lawyers Launch Multiple Oil Spill Web Sites after Filing a Class Action Oil Spill Lawsuit against British Petroleum, Transocean and Others

Gulf Coast Oil Spill

Birmingham, AL (Vocus) May 21, 2010

The Birmingham, Alabama law firm of Heninger Garrison Davis, one of the first law firms to file a class action oil spill lawsuit on behalf of its clients (Case Number 1:10-cv-00221) in the United States District Court of Alabama, Southern Division against Transocean, BP and others, has launched multiple oil spill legal services web sites to help those who have been, or will be, adversely affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill.

Although early fears of oil-covered beaches have yet to materialize, the financial losses for many Gulf Coast residents have already started. Many fishermen are out of work due to the oil spill as well as other seafood workers throughout the region. The firm launched its Mississippi oil spill lawyers site specifically to offer legal help to Mississippi fishermen and other business owners that will lose their incomes as a result of the oil spill.

As the oil slick drifts offshore, those businesses dealing in any aspect of property rental, travel and tourism, even real estate development, have been impacted already. The uncertainty of the oil spill’s impact has resulted in widespread cancellations in property rentals and hotel bookings. The law firm’s Florida oil spill attorneys site speaks to the specific problems felt by property rental and management agencies, travel & tourism businesses affected by the oil spill and even the businesses that supply them. The travel and tourism businesses affected by the oil spill are often small businesses without significant cash reserves or borrowing power. Those businesses depend upon the cash flow that the oil spill has already interrupted and will find it especially difficult to endure the loss of income due to the oil spill. Heninger Garrison Davis’ attorneys are offering no-cost consultations to help address the losses stemming from the oil spill that are just beginning to be felt or will occur as the resulting devastation worsens.

About Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC

Heninger Garrison Davis, with offices in Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia, is a General Civil Trial Practice with attorneys handling Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Commercial Litigation, Consumer Fraud, Trucking Accidents, Products Liability, Medical Malpractice, Fraud, Insurance Litigation, Patent Litigation, Toxic Exposure Litigation, Asbestos Litigation, Social Security, Patent Litigation, and Workers’ Compensation cases. The Alabama oil spill attorneys of Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC are familiar with complex environmental hazard litigation, representing over 1,000 individuals in Calhoun County, Alabama who have been harmed by PCB pollution. As Alabama residents, the attorneys of the firm share the same sorrow and indignation as other residents of the state and entire Gulf Coast region over the human, emotional, property, wildlife, habitat and both environmental and economic ecosystem devastation of this oil spill disaster.

Beasley Allen Files Coal Ash Spill Class Action Lawsuit on Behalf of Residents and Property Owners Affected by Disaster

Home devastated by the Dec., 22 coal ash spill in Kingston, TN

Montgomery, Ala. (PRWEB) January 9, 2009

Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C., has filed a class action lawsuit (3:09-CV-00009) on behalf of property owners damaged by the Dec. 22, 2008 Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) coal ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant. Located 40 miles west of Knoxville, Tenn., the plant released 1.1 billion gallons of toxin-laden sludge into a rural neighborhood when a waste storage pond retaining wall failed. The suit is filed against the TVA, the nation’s largest public utility, over potentially the most significant environmental disaster since the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

The class action complaint was filed today in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee.

Beasley Allen will be working with attorneys Gary Davis and Mary Parker in Tennessee, both of whom have Environmental experience. Beasley Allen has its own Environmental department to handle cases such as this disaster. The firm has handled previous environmental claims including a $ 700 million settlement with Monsanto/Solutia in Anniston (CV-2001-832), Ala., over PCB contamination, the largest environmental settlement in American history. More recently, Beasley Allen obtained a $ 20.7 million verdict (US 07-257) against manufacturers of carbon black )for nearby property owners, a verdict that was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.

Coal-fired power plants produce coal ash and other toxic waste byproducts. The material is usually stored on site in retention ponds or dams. A failure in the retaining wall, or an overflow, can result in an environmental disaster contaminating surrounding waterways, soil, and wildlife, and endangering human health and life.

There is ongoing debate about how coal ash is stored and regulated. Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate these types of retention ponds or the materials contained in them. Surprisingly, the EPA does not consider the coal ash hazardous material. There is a great deal of debate over whether state regulations are sufficient to regulate these retention ponds, as evidenced by this most recent disaster.

“It is absolutely incredible that there is no real oversight for the storage and safe disposal of this toxic waste,” said Beasley Allen attorney Rhon Jones, who specializes in Environmental issues. “Most of these retention ponds are not lined or reinforced, and it’s inevitable that potentially hazardous material will leak out. They just are not a long-term solution. It’s only a matter of time before the next disaster. These facilities are everywhere – Alabama, Tennessee. Communities are living under a cloud, uncertain of their safety.”

There is a U.S. Senate hearing set for Jan. 8 to review the Tennessee disaster that will include representatives from the TVA and environmental groups. Beasley Allen attorneys have contacted Congressional leaders offering to speak at the hearings, and lawyers from the Beasley Allen team will be present in Washington.
