TL;DR Summary

Attorneys representing victims of the Baltimore bridge collapse are preparing to battle Grace Ocean Private Limited, the owner of the ship involved, as it seeks to limit its liability using historic maritime law, similar to the legal battle faced by businesses in the Pensacola area against Skanska USA. The Limitation Liability Act of 1851, used by the owner of the Titanic, is being invoked to restrict potential payouts, drawing criticism from attorneys. The legal maneuvering in Baltimore mirrors the experiences of businesses in Pensacola, where Skanska USA sought to limit liability and avoid economic damages caused by loose barges during Hurricane Sally.
