OceanGate is 'done' and could get sued even though Titan passengers signed waivers, lawyer says

OceanGate could be sued by families of the Titan submersible passengers if investigations into its implosion find gross negligence — even though they'd signed waivers, a lawyer said.

"The enforceability of those types of liability waivers will be tested by the families of these deceased people," William Mack, a commercial litigation lawyer and partner at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, told Insider.

He expected that their legal representatives would "make whatever arguments they can that this liability waiver will not apply if there's gross negligence."

"If they determine the deaths were as a result of some sort of negligence outside the liability waiver then we could see litigation filed pretty quickly," Mack said.
