Families of the dead Titan submersible passengers could sue OceanGate, a lawyer said.
The families' lawyers will argue the risk waivers were void if there was gross negligence, he said.
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.
He expected their legal representatives would "make whatever arguments they can that this liability waiver will not apply if there's gross negligence."
The passengers' families may be able to collect life insurance payouts despite signing waivers, two legal experts told Insider's Erin Snodgrass.
