Maryland leaders are pursuing massive compensation from the owner and operator of the ship involved in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, citing economic damages and negligence.
The collapse has been characterized by Maryland's AG as a result of 'gross negligence, mismanagement and incompetence,' emphasizing the state's unwillingness to foot the financial bill for the incident.
The federal government's lawsuit detailed a series of failures aboard the ship, linking these issues to inadequate maintenance and makeshift repairs, attributing significant responsibility for the disaster.
The ship's owners are pushing to limit their liability to $44 million, which contrasts sharply with the over $100 million being sought by the U.S. Justice Department and other claims.
