KBR needs to stop stalling and just “Man Up” and go to trial!!

Family of electrocuted soldier from Shaler has suit delayed

By The Tribune-Review Wednesday, June 3, 2009

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily postponed the lawsuit filed by the family of a Green Beret from Shaler who was electrocuted in Iraq against the defense contractor they claim is responsible for his death.

U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer ordered a stay in the lawsuit against KBR Inc. while the Texas company appeals the judge’s refusal to dismiss the wrongful death action filed by the parents of Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, 24. He died on Jan. 2, 2008, when a water pump shorted out and electrified water flowing into his shower.

Maseth is among 18 people who have died of electrocution in Iraq since 2003. His parents allege that KBR performed shoddy electrical work in their son’s living quarters in the Radwaniyah Palace Complex. KBR maintains that it was not responsible for repairs and did not work on the water pump. (click HERE for the original article)
