The city of Baltimore said Dali parent company, Grace Ocean Private Ltd., should be held fully liable for the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, according to a new court filing.
The city of Baltimore said the owners of the Dali cargo ship should be held accountable in last month’s crash and subsequent collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, according to a new court filing. The crash left six people who were working on the bridge at the time of the collapse dead. In court papers filed on Monday, Baltimore is accusing parent company, Grace Ocean Private Ltd.
The court filing comes as the Dali owners are seeking to limit their own liability. Earlier this month, Grace Ocean Private Ltd. filed its own federal lawsuit seeking to limit the financial payout that they could be held liable for. The company is seeking to limit that liability cost to just $43.7 million, a figure far smaller than the billions of dollars expected in costs to clear the Baltimore Port and construct a new bridge.
Monday’s filing is the latest action in what is expected to be a lengthy legal fight over who should be held responsible for the crash. Fox News Digital reached out to the city of Baltimore and Grace Ocean Private Ltd., but a response was not immediately received.
In the announcement, the mayor’s office said the city would be partnering with trial firm DiCello Levitt and Philadelphia law firm Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky Trial Lawyers to pursue legal action. The Law Department’s Chief of Affirmative Litigation Sara Gross will also represent the city.
