[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ship owner just filed a limitation of liability action in federal court to cap damages at 43 million. Maritime law allows the ship owner to cap damages at the value of the ship and cargo. [/quote] Does maritime law cover damage to bridges and other surface structures? I am a lawyer but this isn't my area.[/quote] I only remember this from a federal judge clerkship 35 years ago but yes. Under Maritime law you cannot get more than the value of the ship and the cargo out of the owner. Owner has to file the action but the order will be granted assuming it was a ship and it was in the water. That’s all you get for any damages. [/quote] That's the owner. Not the insurance syndicate. The syndicate will be liable to the limits of the policy it underwrote.[/quote]
