Are you a U.S. Coast Guard member, family member, or contracted employee who was deployed during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill?

Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, The Downs Law Group tirelessly fought to obtain the names of individuals like yourself who may have been exposed to harmful chemicals used in the cleanup. We believe you deserve to be informed about this potential exposure and the long-term health risks associated with these chemicals, such as benzene, which may cause cancer.

This educational webinar will provide you with the facts and raise awareness of potential health effects you may face. Join us to learn more and take steps to protect your health. This is purely educational and not a solicitation of our services.

USCG Frequently Asked Questions:

We understand that seeking justice for your exposure may cause concerns. Here are some common questions and answers many ask our VA Accredited attorneys:

Will this affect VA Disability Compensation?

Absolutely not. Your VA Disability Compensation will remain untouched. Our fight is to hold BP accountable for their misleading claims and the harm they've caused.

Is this lawsuit against the Coast Guard?

No. This lawsuit is solely against BP, the oil and gas company responsible for the environmental disaster, and not against the United States Coast Guard or any other state or federal agency. It will have no impact on your relationship with the coast guard.

What kind of claims are being addressed?

Primarily, we're focusing on medical conditions that may be linked to the toxicants from the BP oil spill. If you've experienced severe health issues, we'd like to hear about them.

Can I file a lawsuit if I am still an active member of the Coast Guard?

Yes, all active, reservist, and retired coast guardsmen are eligible to file a lawsuit.
