Lawsuit Against Grace Ocean Private Limited for Francis Scott Key Bridge Tragedy
Lawsuit Filed for Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Baltimore — The families of three of the six immigrant construction workers who tragically lost their lives when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed are taking significant legal action. They will petition a federal court to hold Grace Ocean Private Limited, the owner of the container ship implicated in the disaster, liable for this catastrophic event.
Details of the Tragic Incident
- The accident occurred when the Dali, a massive container ship, crashed into the bridge after losing power.
- As a result, a section of the bridge collapsed, leading to eight workers falling into the water, with six fatalities.
- The Port of Baltimore experienced significant operational delays, requiring 11 weeks for full reopening, which resulted in millions in economic losses.
Matthew Wessler of Gupta Wessler LLP, the firm planning this legal motion, indicated that the suit, if approved by the federal district court in Maryland, could enable the families to seek substantial monetary compensation for the wrongful deaths.
