“This fatal and costly disaster could and should have been avoided,” according to a claim filed by White and Williams on behalf of Brawner Builders Inc. and Zurich American Insurance Co. “This catastrophic event resulted in the deaths of six Brawner workers and serious and permanent injuries to a seventh worker and halted all commercial traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore.”
An insurance company has filed a claim for more than $350 million in reimbursement for covering the total loss of the ship-wrecked Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, a March 26 collapse that killed six and injured two maintenance workers and has prompted lawsuits from surviving family members.
Ace American Insurance Co. paid the $350 million property insurance claim to Maryland and now requests equal compensation plus interest from the owner and manager of the cargo ship that struck and destroyed the Key Bridge, according to a claim Cozen O’Connor filed Friday on behalf of Ace.
