There was already an article that basically said they will be immune from any lawsuits. They operated in international waters outside the scope of any laws or regulations on how the submersible needed to be rated. I hope they can find grounds to sue them and kill the company, maybe they will be open to civil lawsuits?
Apparently it covers their ass since they would only be held liable if they misrepresented the dangers. Since they mention death 3 times on the first page, I don’t think they did.

There’s nobody to sue. The CEO is dead. Oceangate is a bankrupt company with no assets.
Huh, interesting. Then what is the actual point of the liability waivers they had to sign?
