Langston Bass, an attorney for CAT, denied most allegations, as well as any negligence on the part of the transit agency. In an answer filed the following month, T. In that suit, Middleton also sought punitive damages and attorneys fees from CAT on behalf of Margaret Brantley and Tresa Wilson, two Chatham County residents, who, he said, suffered physical injuries and mental suffering as a result of the ramp's failure. "They were the ones controlling the load … and who was admitted onto the ramp."ĬAT, meanwhile, also denies responsibility.Īlong with the complaints on which it is named as a co-defendant, CAT is the sole defendant listed on a complaint filed in December by Savannah attorney Richard H. "The ramp was under the control of CAT," she said. The notices - a requirement before civil action can be taken against a government entity in Georgia - alleged that both the city, which owns the dock where the collapse occurred, and CAT, which had used it as a landing point for its Savannah Belles Ferry service while another landing was under repair, were negligent in allowing Manly's clients and the other prospective passengers to remain on the gangway when the ferry left land.Īssistant City Attorney Jennifer Herman said while the city regrets that people were injured in the ramp's malfunction, it disputes any claims it was liable. Manly had outlined damages of more than $1.8 million for both couples in a pair of ante litem notices submitted to the city in January. Savannah enjoys immunity protections, the answer says, "and thus this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims asserted against … Savannah by plaintiffs." Manly on behalf of South Carolina residents Anne and Howard Redlus and Karen and Bruce Adams, fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, McRae wrote in the answers filed in State Court, and should therefore be dismissed. Those civil suits, filed in April by attorney John B. McRae filed a pair of answers on behalf of the city that denied the bulk of the claims made in a pair of civil suits filed against Savannah and the Chatham Area Transit Authority by four victims of the ramp's failure. Savage, allege negligence on the part of Savannah and CAT, and seek damages on behalf of five victims of the gangway's malfunction - Julie Potts, Sheri O'Neill, Patty Greene, Joanne Senn and Barbara Battista.Īs of Thursday, no response to Savage's five lawsuits had been filed, but both the city and CAT have answered earlier lawsuits by denying any liability. ![]() The most recent civil suits, filed earlier this month by Savannah attorney Brent J. First responders were able to rescue and account for all of them, but Savannah Master Firefighter Michael Curry collapsed during the response and later died at Memorial University Medical Center from an aortic aneurysm. 19 - all of them alleging that negligence in some form or fashion resulted in injuries and other damages.Īccording to a Savannah-Chatham police report on the incident, 55 people were waiting for a CAT ferry on the city-owned ramp when it collapsed. There have now been eight complaints filed by people standing on the ramp when it fell on the afternoon of Nov. Their denials, which have been filed in Chatham County State Court in the months since the the gangway's failure, are in response to recent civil suits. Attorneys for both the city of Savannah and the Chatham Area Transit Authority have denied responsibility for the November collapse of a River Street gangway that sent dozens of prospective ferry passengers plunging toward the Savannah River. ![]()
