Oil Spill Lawyers

As a result of negligence and greed, the Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010 incinerating eleven workers, suffocating countless amounts of sea life and leaving an unprecedented toll of damage to the health, wealth and well-being of millions of Americans for many years to come. It is by far the greatest environmental disaster in the history of the United States and, unfortunately, we are only beginning to see the widespread effects of this easily preventable catastrophe.

Caused by a culmination of poor business decisions, greed, and mismanagement, BP, Transocean and Halliburton must be held accountable. One of the reasons for this tragedy was a deliberate drive to push the envelope of safety in order to compensate for a previously failed well that had to be abandoned resulting in approximately $25 million in losses for BP. The company was also riding high atop a false ego created by a seven year safety track record for that particular rig. However, the negligence, arrogance and greed fueling the rush to drill came to a screeching halt around 10:00PM on April 20, 2010.
