www.doyleraizner.com | 888-571-1001 | Doyle Raizner LLP Wherever the investigation of the cause of the off shore oil rig explosion and sinking of Transoceans offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon points to as the ultimate causes of this particular explosion, it points to an overwhelming need for closer oversight of the companies operating offshore. Both the Mineral Management Service (MMS), the Department of Interior agency primarily responsible for leasing and overseeing hydrocarbon operations on the Continental Shelf of the United States, as well as the United States Coast Guard, need more resources to meet the challenges of better and more consistent inspections and investigations. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard is already overworked, charged not just with safeguarding our coastline but also with leading roles in the War on Terrorism and trying to get a handle on the flood of imported containers and shipping that marks modern commerce. The lawyers at Doyle Raizner LLP offer experienced legal representation on behalf of people who have been hurt or killed in offshore oil rig platform explosions. We assist victims in their families to recover benefits and other forms of compensation to which they may be entitled as a result injuries caused by explosions on offshore oil drilling platforms or units. http
