   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2143
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Benton and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Admiralty. In this suit for damages as a a result of 
   defendant's barges striking plainitff's rail bridge across the Mississippi 
   River, the district court erred in concluding that plaintiff could not be 
   assigned any share of fault in the accident because it had no legal duty 
   to remove or alter its lawfully permitted bridge; the owner of a lawful 
   bridge may be found comparatively negligent for an allision even absent an 
   affirmative duty to alter the bridge's configuration; remanded for further 
   proceedings.
