Attorneys Help Restore Louisiana After the 2010 BP Oil Spill

Louisiana residents have endured the worst of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy along the Gulf Coast

Louisianans have persevered after repeated tragedies in recent years. Communities along the Gulf of Mexico have endured repeated disasters with strength, humor and the determination to carry on. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is a nearly unprecedented tragedy in the state’s history. Unlike other disasters, the health and economic effects are only just becoming apparent. Oil and chemicals permeated much of the bayou in the southern half of the state, and many residents need compensation for the health effects suffered because of this.

The Downs Law Group is committed to getting Louisiana the aid its people need. Our law firm works with Gulf Coast residents to get them compensation for medical costs and long-term conditions. If you have been impacted by the BP oil spill, our legal team can provide you with more information about what we can do for you.

What parts of Louisiana are eligible for medical benefits as part of the BP settlement fund?

Medical benefits are available for people who live in Zone A or Zone B under the medical portion of the BP compensation fund. Large portions of the state fall into one of these zones. Communities that are eligible include:

Grand Isle The Chandeleur Islands The Breton Sound Islands Lafitte Point à la Hache Lake St. Catherine

Areas on the southern part of Vermilion Bay and Cote Blanche Bay Terrebonne Bay Port Sulphur Barataria Bay Pearl River Island

Many locations surrounding these coastal zones fall into BP medical benefit settlement areas. The types of compensation available to cleanup workers or residents depends on the medical conditions they are suffering from and other qualifying factors. Our attorneys can explain the process of filing a claim and what is required in order for it to be successful.
