Claim Type (Please check all that apply):

X Destroyed or Damaged Physical Property

□ Other: 

Brief Description:

1. Describe the physical damage to property you are claiming. Provide as much detail as possible as to the physical structures damaged or 

destroyed.

Property was damaged by a free-floating crane mat owned by Skanska which caused 

physical destruction and damage to the shoreline and pier. This destruction and damage 

caused demolition, repair and replacement expenses and resulted in loss of use, 

unbudgeted expenses, and interest. In an abundance of caution this case is filed in this 

federal court to encompass any assertion that the damage was caused by the 

contemporaneous impact of Skanska construction barge 470027. 

If you checked “other” as your claim type, please describe the injury, as well as how and when it was sustained.

N/A

By signing this form, Claimant agrees to share the information provided above and any accompanying documents with the 

Defendants in Case No. 3:20-cv-05980-RV-MJF.
