Yesterday I heard that Transocean, through intermediaries, was already in contact with victims of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and possibly their family members and was asking them to sign papers potentially releasing valuable legal rights.
This is troubling on many levels. First, it's way too early for Transocean's defense team to be pressuring victims to sign paperwork or give statements. They should be focused on stopping the environmental damage currently being caused in the Gulf of Mexico.
Second, the victims and their families deserve some time to grieve and consider their options before being pressured to sign papers.
Remember, don't sign any papers given to you by Transocean, BP, or anyone purporting to act on their behalf, at least for now, without having those papers thoroughly reviewed by someone independent.
