I don’t think many people inconvenienced by this will have a legal leg to stand on. I think someone tried a suit for losses when a boat struck the Sunshine Bridge. Accidents like this will fall under maritime law and not civil law. That will restrict anyone wanting to sue to have actual damages and catastrophic losses for example the injured workers, families of the deceased, and the state for the loss of the bridge.
