BP Oil Economic Losses

When the oil drilling rig in Deepwater Horizon caught fire and eventually sank on April 20, 2010 the economic impact throughout the country was felt almost immediately. While the coastline states from Louisiana to Florida felt the most substantial economic losses, the widespread nature of this tragedy has contributed to massive economic damage throughout the United States. Industries such as tourism, offshore drilling, and fishing took a huge hit and are still in the beginning stages of recovery today. Offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico contributes 23.5 percent of the United States’ total oil production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, the oil industry was certainly not the only industry affected by the economic impact of the BP oil spill. From real estate prices to fisheries to tourism, both individuals and businesses across the nation and abroad were severely impacted by the environmental tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico. the Arguello Law Firm has a deep compassion for the countless individuals and businesses that have suffered economic losses as a result of the oil spill disaster.
