The family of a surviving victim of the tragic sailing incident in Biscayne Bay is now suing the sailing camp and the company that owns the barge that crashed into the sailboat, killing three young girls.

Judd Rosen, who represents the family of a 9-year-old girl who survived the July 28 ordeal, said the lawsuit that was filed on Friday aims to answer more questions and to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

"We have the most beautiful waters in the world here; we also have the most dangerous for boating," Rosen said. "Something has to change."

The lawsuit claims Waterfront Construction Inc., the barge's owner, along with the Miami Yacht Club and Youth Sailing Foundation, were "careless, reckless and negligent" and failed to take "adequate measures" to avoid the collision.
