            | | New Orleans Oil Pollution Act Claims LawyerLouisiana Maritime Personal Injury Attorney ● Economic Loss Claims LawyerThe Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990 was signed into law due, in large part, to rising public concern after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. This act provides the financial resources needed to respond to oil spills. The OPA also created the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund to provide monetary compensation for those impacted by the oil spill. The Law Offices of John L. Young At The Law Offices of John L. Young in New Orleans and in Ocean Springs, we help people who suffer loss due to oil spill pollution claims and other oil act litigation. Whether your loss is physical due to personal injury or economic due to an oil spill, call us to discuss your case. We understand the full impact oil spills can have on your ability to earn a living for yourself and for your family. With the explosion and fire on the BP Deepwater Horizon offshore oil drilling platform, Gulf Coast residents, companies and those across the country who are dependent on coastal businesses are experiencing significant financial challenges. However, there may be monetary damages available to those who have suffered economic loss directly or indirectly, including shrimpers, oyster harvesters and fishers. Though there is a $75 million cap for losses to private parties, the cap may be waived if there is proof of company neglect or misconduct, including violation of safety rules. If you have been impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, call attorney John L. Young to learn if you are eligible to receive compensation for your financial or physical loss under Oil Pollution Act claims.
