Answers to the Most Common Questions About the Transocean Rig Explosion

The Most Common Questions About the Transocean Rig Explosion


Eleven men lost their lives in the Transocean Deepwater Horizon explosion and countless others were severely injured, both physically and emotionally.

Mr. Beckcom, who focuses his practice on representing injured offshore workers, has been fielding calls and answering questions from clients, the media, and other attorneys about working conditions on offshore oil rigs and the possible legal consquences following one of our country's worst offshore drilling rig accidents.

While monitoring the investigation of the explosion, Mr. Beckcom learned that Transocean and BP have already begun putting together their legal teams to defend them from the legal claims that will surely result. In fact, Mr. Beckcom has learned that intermediaries of the companies are already asking crewmembers to sign release papers and give recorded statements, and may be pressuring crewmembers or giving them one-sided legal advice.

Mr. Beckcom has put together a Special Report written exclusively for crewmembers of the Deepwater Horizon and their families that gives tips, suggestions, and warnings about their legal rights. He is offering it at no cost with no obligation and no strings attached.
