The San Francisco Chronicle describes the partciulars of the case, which are highlighted below:

  • Transocean offered to pay injured workers six months salary for releasing their claims against the company
  • Transocean filed a court document stating that 'in certain circumstances' it would cease paying injured workers full wages and benefits after December 15
  • Transocean executed these filings in order to increase pressure on injured workers to return to work

These legal actions, undertaken by a large corporation against workers injured in major accident that triggered the BP oil spill and killed 11 people, can be intimidating to face. What do you do if you've been injured and are faced with pursuing legal action?

Whether you intend to seek counsel from an Austin personal injury attorney or an Austin long term disability attorney, you need qualified, experienced counsel that will pursue your rights to the maximum extent that Texas law permits. We applaud the attorney for the injured workers in the Transocean action, and we stand by our clients in all circumstances.
