Smith Stag, LLC Assists In Filing Oil Spill Disaster Claims Against BP

Commercial Fishermen and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network Hire Prominent Environmental Lawyers to Protect Their Rights

Stuart H. Smith has assembled a working group of lawyers from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Florida to prosecute claims for those who have been affected by BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This group of lawyers has extensive experience in their respective jurisdictions addressing the substantial losses landowners and fishermen have suffered as a result of toxic contamination.

Smith Stag was lead counsel in the Grefer v. Exxon litigation, wherein a judgment of $1.056 Billion was taken against Exxon for oilfield radiation contamination. Smith Stag also served on the Executive Committee for the Murphy Oil litigation, which resulted in a cleanup and cash settlement in excess of $280 Million. Smith Stag and Sacks & Westin have successfully litigated cases against every major oil company in the world.

Val Exnicios has extensive litigation experience against the oil and gas industry in Louisiana. The firm of Krupnick Campbell of Fort Lauderdale is experienced in representing the shrimping industry in chemical contamination cases. The group also contains French-speaking Acadian lawyer Warren Perrin of the Perrin deLaunay firm, since many of the fishermen expected to be affected will be Acadian.

Mr. George Barasich, individually and as the president of the United Commercial Fisherman’s Association, and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network have requested that Mr. Smith and his team began to represent them in the cause of BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill and the environmental impact associated therewith. In light of current predictions of large-scale environmental damages, Mr. Smith and his team have filed suit on behalf of their clients. With respect to the assembled team of lawyers, Mr. Smith provided, “without any hesitation I can report that these lawyers who have joined together are ready to protect the interests of all those who have suffered and will continue to suffer as a result of this most unfortunate disaster, and like all Americans, we hope BP stops the leak soon.”
