GULF OIL SPILL LAWSUITS: THREE MORE FILED BY MOBILE LAW FIRM (AL.COM)

By Brendan Kirby

MOBILE, Ala. -- Mobile law firm Cunningham Bounds, which already represents clients in five class-action lawsuits against BP LLC over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, has filed three more.

Orange Beach Marina, Dauphin Island Marina and other marinas have sued BP along with Transocean Ltd., which owns the drilling rig. It also names Halliburton Energy Services and Cameron International Corp., which manufactured the blowout preventer that failed to shut off the oil flow.

The Original Oyster House is the lead plaintiff in another case, which seeks to represent all restaurants along the Gulf Coast that are impacted by the spill.

The third suit, filed by Blue Water Yacht Sales and Services, represents boat dealerships and their employees.
