Attorneys representing Julio Cervantes Suarez, one of the two construction workers who survived the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore on March 26, alleged that workers were not told to evacuate as the Dali cargo ship approached a support beam on the bridge. The collapse killed six construction workers and injured two others. Suarez was able to escape with his life by rolling down the manual windows of his car and escaping when the car plunged into the Patapsco River. Some of the workers were related, and Suarez lost some family members in the collapse.
Suarez’s attorney, L. Chris Stewart, stated that the workers were living the American dream and were working to fix America’s infrastructure, making the deaths resulting from the collapse all preventable. Suarez, who does not know how to swim, was able to hang on to a piece of debris in the water and survive. The attorneys announced that they would be conducting an independent investigation into Grace Ocean, which owns the Dali, and the FBI opened a criminal investigation into the collapse. Grace Ocean filed for legal protection of its assets earlier in the month.
The petition filed by Grace Ocean claims that the casualty was not due to any fault, neglect, or want of care on their part or any related entities. They are seeking exoneration from liability for any losses or damages arising from the casualty. The attorneys on Monday stated that they would be investigating Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine. The FBI also announced that it had opened a criminal investigation into the collapse. The bridge collapse has left Suarez with severe mental and emotional pain and suffering, as he lost family members in the tragic incident.
Attorney Justin Miller also noted that some of the workers were related and that Suarez lost family members in the collapse. Suarez’s ability to survive the collapse was attributed to the manual windows in his vehicle, which allowed him to escape. The attorneys highlighted that the deaths resulting from the collapse were preventable and that they would be seeking justice for the victims. They emphasized that an independent investigation into Grace Ocean, the owner of the Dali cargo ship, would be conducted to determine accountability for the tragic incident. Grace Ocean has filed for legal protection of its assets.
