Please help me understand the notion that one should not be responsible for one's own negligence? I mean that seriously. I see that thinking in many of the threads on this kind of subject.
There are valid reasons why the Law Firm would seek on order such as this. One, there might not be a cause of action at all. Just because the bridge fell does not automatically mean someone was negligent. If the can determine that it was not foreseeable, then they can advise their client to accept it as an unfortunate accident and take the settlement offer.
Two, I don't know what the statute of limitations in MN is, but I do know that NTSB investigations can take a long time to reach conclusions. If the SOL is one year to bring a suit, and the results are announced 13 months later, finding that the State had notice that a dangerous collapse was likely yet did nothing, shouldn't the injured have recourse against the State?
I could go one, but it would be pointless.

The statute of limitations for fraudulent concealment is at least three years from the date of the discovery of the fraud.
AFAIK, this law firm does not even have a client yet. They are looking for liabilty and when they find it they will go fishing for clients.
Most likely to those who do not get a lawyer, the property liability carrier for whoever is the owner of the bridge (the state or federal government) will offer a fair settlement offer regardless of any finding of negligence.
I just can't stand these ambulance chasing law firms.

Then don't.
