Oil Spill Litigation

Mississippi litigators helping those suffering financially and personally from the Gulf Coast oil spill

The attorneys at Langston & Langston, PLLC are working to help individuals, families, and businesses hurt by the BP Oil Spill seek damages under the Oil Pollution Act and all other legal remedies available.

  • Fishing, shrimp, oyster or other seafood industries—business owners, boat owners, and workers
  • Seafood wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and restaurants—owners and workers
  • Property owners—those who rent or lease their properties, renting agents, and management companies incurring property damage and cleanup expenses
  • Homeowner and condominium owner associations—incurring property damage and cleanup expenses
  • Gulf Coast tourism related businesses—businesses catering to tourists and the businesses selling products and services to those businesses
  • Any other business along the Gulf that has lost income as a result of the BP Oil Spill

If you experience physical symptoms, seek immediate medical attention

Common injuries that are often related to oil and chemical dispersant exposure include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Trouble breathing

We encourage you to pay attention to any symptom that did not exist before exposure to the spill so that you can immediately seek the medical care you need and deserve.

What you can do if you think you have a lawsuit

The attorneys at Langston & Langston, PLLC encourage you to keep a journal noting:

  • Any expenses or damages incurred as a result of the oil spill
  • The stress or hardship caused by this difficult time
  • Damage to land, buildings, boats, or personal property
  • Loss of profits or impairment of earning capacity due to the loss of property or natural resources
  • Costs of testing for oil pollution
  • Loss of profits for not being able to fish, oyster, or shrimp
  • Costs to clean up oil

We advise you not to sign any forms or releases from BP, who is only trying to limit its liability nor do they have your best interests in mind.
