The Death on the High Seas Act may apply to people who lose their lives in vessels that capsize and sink in tropical storms and hurricanes. Even though Mother Nature may have been the cause of the incident, the families of those who have been lost at sea can seek justice if negligence or unseaworthiness were involved. Some companies try to keep offshore rigs producing even when storms are imminent. Others fail to evacuate crews when hurricanes are on the horizon. Practices like these place everyone on the vessel at risk, such as the crews of the El Faro, the Seacor Power, the Deepwater Asgard, and the Globetrotter II.
