No Money For Deceased Victims of Oil Spill

Roughly two months ago, BP assured the world via conference that they would be paying for all damages related to oil spill.

Let’s fast forward into real time.

The New York Times has obtained a letter from a BP lawyer saying Transocean employees – which include the only casualties from the oil spill disaster — would have to settle all claims with Transocean. Many of them BP, will argue, have already signed away their right to sue:

“To be clear, it is BP’s position, consistent with this indemnification, that any settlement between Transocean and any of its injured or deceased employees must include a full release of all BP entities from any and all claims or liability in connection with the Deepwater Horizon incident,” said the letter, from John T. Hickey, a lawyer for BP. “This full release of all BP entities would indeed bar any subsequent claims against the fund being established by BP and the claims facility that will be administered by Mr. Feinberg.”

Way to screw the dead BP.

Have you or someone you know been affected by the BP oil spill? You will be pleased to know that there is a pending class action lawsuit being filed.
