Whatley Drake & Kallas is preparing to file cases on behalf of those who have been damaged by the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It is estimated that over 200,000 gallons of oil per day are spilling out into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This spill has led to significant damage to the vulnerable fisheries and delta eco-systems along the coast and caused millions of dollars in losses for companies involved in the fishing and seafood industries, companies involved in the tourism and hospitality industries, property owners, and even local governments. These losses have been caused by the negligence of BP and others in failing to properly maintain the oil well, failure to quickly repair the damaged equipment, and failure to put in place adequate systems to contain and repair damage caused by a potential oil leak.

At Whatley Drake & Kallas we believe that those responsible for this unmitigated ecological and economic disaster should be held legally responsible for the losses they have caused, and we are committed to fighting on behalf of those who have been damaged. Lawyers with Whatley Drake & Kallas have a reputation for tenaciously and successfully representing clients against even the largest and most powerful corporate interests, and as a firm we are committed to going beyond the recovery of money in order to achieve meaningful change that makes a difference for our environment and for society as a whole.

To discuss a potential case, please call us at 1 (800) 922-5851 or contact Jack Drake, Joe Whatley, Richard Rouco or Ashley Cranford.
