Families of Baltimore Bridge Collapse Victims Pursue Legal Action Against Ship Owner Amid DOJ Lawsuit

The families of victims from the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse are taking legal action against the owner of the cargo ship, Dali, which is alleged to have been 'entirely avoidable' in causing the disaster. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit seeking $100 million to cover cleanup costs and holds the ship's owner and operator accountable for their liabilities. Families are seeking justice for their losses, emphasizing that the Dali vessel was 'jury-rigged' and unseaworthy at the time of the incident. As legal proceedings unfold, the bereaved families are demanding accountability from the shipping company that they believe contributed to the tragedy.
