Justice Dept. Sues Dali Ship Owners Over Baltimore Bridge Collapse, Six Deaths, Seeks $100M
Sep 18, 2024, 02:48 PM
The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $100 million in cleanup costs and unspecified punitive damages against the owner and operator of the Dali container ship, which caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The incident, which occurred in March, resulted in the deaths of six workers and significant disruption to the region's transportation network. The lawsuit accuses the ship's crew of negligence and mismanagement, alleging that the crew 'jury-rigged their ship.' The Justice Department's action represents the most aggressive response to date regarding the disaster, which it claims was 'entirely avoidable.'
