Look to Stewart Technology Associates for Experienced Expert Witness Marine Service
[Posted on Sep 06]
In 2010, an oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico led to not only deaths of rig workers, but also deaths of myriad species of wildlife, a tremendous shock to Gulf coast economies, a dirty Gulf, and undoubtedly, other long-term effects which are profoundly negative. When such an offshore event occurs, there is also one other likely consequence: legal action; and when legal action is a result of an offshore accident, an expert witness marine service becomes necessary.
Although the magnitude of the 2010 BP/Transocean oil spill was something fairly unusual, it can be said that such accidents can and do occur, and when they do, the effects can have tremendous significance for a number of players involved, including companies, sea life, bystanders, or other externalities.
