BALTIMORE — The owner and manager of the massive container ship that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month should be held fully liable for the deadly collapse, according to court papers filed Monday on behalf of Baltimore’s mayor and city council.soon after the March 26 collapse asking a court to cap their liability under a pre-Civil War provision of an 1851 maritime law — a routine but important procedure for such cases.
The ship was headed to Sri Lanka when it lost power shortly after leaving Baltimore and struck one of the bridge’s support columns, collapsing the span and sending six members of a roadwork crew plunging to their deaths. “Petitioners’ negligence caused them to destroy the Key Bridge, and singlehandedly shut down the Port of Baltimore, a source of jobs, municipal revenue, andLawyers representing victims of the collapse and their families also have pledged to hold the companies accountable and oppose their request for limited liability.
The American Idol winner's ex is now requesting the case be dismissed. Clarkson alleged in a lawsuit last month that she should be awarded more than the $2.6 million that the California Labor Commissioner's Office ruled Blackstock owed her. According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Blackstock and his management firm, Starstruck Management, deny "each and every allegation" raised by the pop superstar.
