SUMMARY: Families of construction workers killed in a cargo ship accident at Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge have filed a lawsuit against the ship’s owner to prevent them from escaping legal liability. The incident occurred when the ship, identified as D, lost power and collided with the bridge, causing its collapse and the deaths of eight workers. The Singapore-based parent company, Grace Ocean Private Limited, sought to limit its legal exposure, but three victims’ families are urging the court to deny this request. They emphasize that no corporation should diminish the value of human life, advocating for a jury to determine fair compensation.

Families of some of the workers killed when a cargo ship crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Bridge in March have announced a lawsuit aimed at preventing the ship’s owner from escaping legal liability.
