Lawsuit status for the Qarmat Ali troops

Attorney Doyle Raizner clears up the confusion on the lawsuit status for the National Guard Troops exposed to deadly Haxavalent chromium at Qarmat Ali in Iraq.
There have been several important developments in the fight to uncover KBR’s conduct in knowingly exposing the men at KBR’s Qarmat Ali project to dangerous toxins. But first, it is with great sadness that all of us express our condolences to Sabrina and the McManaway family on Mark’s passing. The Indiana/Texas lawsuit was brought in Mark’s name, and we will continue the fight in his name and for his family and the men with whom he served.
Recent developments in a number of areas:
Discovering the truth: KBR has made several bids to block discovery into their actions at Qarmat Ali. KBR has filed yet more motions to dismiss the suits, and as part of those motions, they have asked that all discovery be blocked while the judge considers the motions. However, at a hearing on July 9, 2010, United States District Judge Vanessa Gilmore in Houston federal court rejected KBR’s demand that all discovery be blocked and its managers not be required to testify under oath about what they knew about the hazards to the men at Qarmat Ali, when they knew it, and what KBR management should have been doing from the beginning of KBR’s project to protect our soldiers, British troops, and the men actually on the ground at Qarmat Ali doing the work. Even after that ruling, KBR has refused to comply with its discovery obligations, so another hearing with the Court may be necessary.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the info. I have been having joint pain for a couple of years now, and so do the other soldiers who served with me. Especially in my fingers/hands, elbows an knees. I recently have been having lower lumbar pain, it feels like some just stomped all over my entire body. I now have a Tens unit that helps a little.
It is good hearing from you again Ralph, I hope you are doing ok yourself. Take Care of yourself an I hope you and your family have happy holidays!!
