THE family of one of the victims of the Titan submersible tragedy is now seeking a wrongful death lawsuit of more than $50 million.
The Titan submersible, owned by OceanGate, imploded last June on a destination visit to see the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among the five voyagers who died in the submersible when it imploded underwater.
His estate argued that OceanGate failed to disclose key facts about the submersible, in a statement emailed to local NBC affiliate, WYFF News.
They added that the submersible was “doomed” and had a “troubled history,” which wasn’t disclosed.
Even though Nargeloet agreed to participate in the voyage, his estate’s attorneys are alleging that OceanGate “purposefully concealed” information about the vessel.
The attorneys are now hoping to get answers for the family.
OceanGate has suspended operations since the incident.
Nargeloet embarked on an expedition with OceanGate in the North Atlantic Ocean on June 18, 2023.
The submersible lost contact with its support ship just two hours after beginning its journey.
The story caught global attention as the world waited in anticipation to find the missing five travelers.
Just two days later, the Coast Guard announced that they discovered debris consistent with the submersible.
The US Navy then confirmed that sensors detected a likely implosion that killed the five passengers instantly.
