BP, Transocean, Settle With Injured Deepwater Horizon Worker [USA]

BP...Transocean...and others involved in the operation of the Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a worker injured in the blast. Oleander Benton, the Deepwater Horizon worker, said in a filing...that all his claims have been “amicably settled” and asked U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to dismiss his lawsuit. Benton’s was among at least 40 lawsuits filed by survivors or relatives of the 126-member crew that was aboard the rig when it exploded off the Louisiana coast in April 2010, killing 11 and resulting in the worst oil spill in U.S. history.[also refers to Anadarko, Moex (part of Mitsui), Cameron Intl.]
