if the families don't file a suit, I would expect their employer, or their work union may step in and handle that part. It's still early in the game but time will tell.
gotta remember when this bridge was built ships weren't even close to this big ,,the ship was having issues and should not have left port knowing they had issues
There's really no way to put a true price tag on the cost of this bridge being destroyed. But they should take the burden off the taxpayers completely.
How many people have to die before "thoughts and prayers go out to the families"? (When the people killed in this incident Are mentioned at all, it's [almost] always very briefly/ casually rushed over).
If they persuade a Baltimore jury the MV Dali left port in an unseaworthy condition, through the incompetence or negligence of the Captain and pair of Baltimore harbour pilots, they'll likely just invalidate the insurance policy. As marine insurance is generally void when a vessel sails in unseaworthy state, or in the hands of incompetent Officers. At which point they'll have to go through the Singaporean courts, to attempt to recover any monies they believe they are entitled to, the vessel being owned and operated by companies in that Jurisdiction, and using an Indian crew, and US Pilots, which will cost monies. Given the vessel is in a legal entity, where the ship itself is the only tangible asset, a ship they've possibly invalidated the insurance on, they could at best have a notional very small cut of the salvage value, after deducting the cost of the salvage operation, and legal fees. Though i suspect many a US lawyer will be waiting for an opportunity to go after the employer of the Baltimore Harbour Pilots, in US courts.
In my opinion after Dalia is moved to unloading dock, All containers removed from cargo ship Now it needs repairs, And it now SEIZED by USA till all Funds received to USA and or Ship is Turned over to USA for rest payment Due.
Again why is no one asking why were tugs not being used to get ships past this bridge since they were well aware of bridge weaknesses. Only a complete idiot would say it cost to much considering the lives that it could have cost and other more significant issues. The Port Authority needs to be investigated and the Govenor who definitely knew! EXCUSES LIKE WHAT?
Some body needs to be prosecuted for all the deaths related to the ship wreck

That's why there's INSURANCE, not taxpayer money~🤬
The city failed to update safety barriers to protect the bridges foundation... But clearly the ship needs to pay up

Maintenance has been an issue with this company!!!

I hope the mayor wins and gets the money.

One big screw up
Hey if they move the ship out of the way it might restore the flow to the channel and improve the visibility in the water for the workers.
It sounds like a clear cut case, a certain mariner company is gonna be more bankrupt than MC Hammer n knows it.
That is obviously the ship owner and operator 's fault.

Sue all you want the maritime has more loopholes than you know what to do with.
Ya Think?
I can hear the ship owner now " there were no signs reading bridge ahead approach with caution"
And, now the ship owner have sued greed for consequences

No worry Biden said the USA with pay it all !
But wait, they said there was no negligence form the ship company .
