Transocean denies fault of any company involved in Deepwater Horizon

In a petition filed at a Houston federal courthouse, Transocean denies not only its own fault but the fault of any company involved in the Deepwater Horizon operation, including British Petroleum, Cameron and Halliburton.

The petition seeks to limit Transocean’s liability to just under $27 million dollars, which is the value of the sunken rig. Before the April 20 explosion, it was valued at $650 million.

See the petition in our Maritime Accident Law Library.

To understand just how the company was reassuring workers that hiring an attorney was unnecessary before denying fault, read “Transocean’s Two Faces.”

Our firm understands the game they are playing as well as anyone in the field. We have represented Transocean workers and, with our offices just three blocks away from where the petition was filed, we are in the middle of the action.
