Baltimore Longshoremen Sue Ship Owner Over Bridge Collapse

Attorney William Murphy speaks during a press conference announcing a class action claim against the owners of the Dali, the cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, seeking damages

A group of Baltimore longshoremen has filed a class action lawsuit against the owner and manager of the ship responsible for the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The longshoremen are seeking compensation for lost wages during the port closure that followed the tragic incident.

The lawsuit alleges that the ship's owner, Grace Ocean Private Ltd., and manager, Synergy Marine Group, knowingly sent an unseaworthy vessel into U.S. waters, resulting in the collapse that claimed the lives of six construction workers.
