Bloomberg News reports today that BP was sued by Lloyd's of London, Transocean's excess-insurance carrier, over the Deepwater Horizon explosion.
What does this mean for Deepwater Horizon crewmembers?
If you were a crewmember on the Deepwater Horizon, Transocean's lawsuit against BP means that Transocean's insurance companies are asking BP (or its insurance company) to pay for any damages you have suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any future damages.
Right now, Transocean and/or its insurance carriers have been paying significant money for the medical care and lost wages of its injured workers.
By filing this lawsuit, Transocean and/or its insurance carriers are trying to recoup these payments or force BP to pay the costs for lawsuits by injured crewmembers along with all the other legal claims arising out of the Deepwater Horizon crew.
