VB Rig Explosion Lawyers assist media reporting and investigations with the help of former offshore injury clients.

Our law firm has represented hundreds of offshore workers over the years. We maintain contacts with our clients even after their cases are concluded. We pride ourselves on maintaining these relationships with our clients, hopefully for a lifetime.

Many of our former offshore clients have expertise on safety issues that have arisen since the Transocean Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, or have first-hand knowledge of what it is really like to work on an offshore oil rig. After all, unless someone has actually set foot on an offshore rig and done the heavy duty and dangerous work these workers are asked to do, they will not have much of a basis to discuss offshore oil rig safety issues.

Many of our former clients have asked how they may help since this disaster occurred.

Our law firm is conducting an ongoing investigation of the Transocean oil rig explosion, and we are asking our former clients to assist on that. We have compiled various information on the explosion and we are maintaining an investigation database for use by investigating authorities and others who would like this information. We are maintaining this database in Houston, Texas, where Transocean has primary offices and where our law firm is based. Houston is also the location where lawsuits have been filed against Transocean, and where many future lawsuits against the company are likely to be filed.

In addition, many media sources, including the Wall Street Journal, have asked our law firm for information on the Transocean explosion, and on offshore safety issues in general. We are currently working with the Wall Street Journal on a major investigative story on offshore rig safety. The WSJ tells us that this piece will involve not only the Transocean rig disaster, but also prior offshore oil rig explosions and disasters as well as offshore rig safety across the board. This process is involving our lawyers, offshore safety experts who we work with on offshore cases, our former clients, as well as our current clients.

If you have any specific information on the Transocean explosion or on offshore rig safety in general that you would like the Wall Street Journal to consider, please contact us: (877) 724-7800.
