🌊 Who’s responsible when a tragedy happens in international waters — with no clear laws, no oversight, and no certification?
In this segment, Lawyer Monthly unpacks the complex legal aftermath of the OceanGate Titan disaster. With the submersible launched from Canada, operated by a U.S. company, and imploding in international waters — where do you even file a lawsuit?
📉 OceanGate has declared bankruptcy, but could victims' families still pursue legal action against the estate of CEO Stockton Rush? Could courts pierce the corporate veil if they find evidence of fraud or gross negligence?
⚠️ And what about the red flags? In 2018, former OceanGate Director David Lochridge raised serious safety concerns — and was fired for it. His testimony now paints a devastating picture of a company that deliberately sidestepped regulation in the name of innovation.
🚢 Add in “flags of convenience” and a total lack of vessel certification, and what you get is a regulatory free-for-all. This case could reshape how international maritime law applies to commercial adventure tourism.
