CPA’s TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CALCULATING LOST BUSINESS DUE TO OIL SPILL FOR LAWSUITS AGAINST BP & HALLIBURTON
As the Seas’ Currents Spread the Seeping Oil from the Bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, a Wave of Lawsuits are Already Being Filed in Florida and the Gulf States for Lost Business Due to the BP Oil Spill – CPA Forensic Accountants in High Demand and in Scarce Supply for Litigation Support Services
BP said publically they will pay for “legitimate” damages to businesses for Oil Spill caused by the sunken damaged oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Lawyers are already riding the wave of oil to come up with new legal work stemming from potential lawsuits for business that have or will experience lost business due to the oil spill or may go out of business completely. Businesses are already suffering from the effects of the oil spill, before the first drop of oil even touches the shoreline! Those in industries such as the fishing industry, hospitality industry for hotels, motels, & restaurants, seafood industry, boat rentals & boat sales, and diving charters are already experiencing significant business losses due to cancellations from the oil spill.
In turn, Certified Public Accountants will undoubtedly be needed for BP lawsuit damage calculations for their forensic accounting, business valuation, expert witness testimony, and litigation support services for the lawsuits involving companies who have lost business or gone out of business as a result of the BP oil spill for the Gulf States. Lawyers and business owners should start approaching CPA’s to engage their services while they are available after this tax season to set up to start working on damage calculations for the litigation support services needed for the legal actions that will result from the damage caused by the BP oil platform disaster.
It is one thing to simply file a lawsuit for lost business due to the oil spill, but a CPA will likely be needed to not only mathematically demonstrate the dollar amount of damage to the business – but also communicate it effectively to the jury during the legal proceedings.
