Family presses appeal in military death

Posted on June 10th, 2010 No Comments

The largest contractor for the U.S. military in Iraq, KBR Inc., has lost a $24.1 million bonus removed from their paycheck following court proceedings that charges the company with negligence leading to a wrongful death.

The company was acquitted of criminal charges filed against them by the deceased’s family, but the case was appealed to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.

According to the plaintiff, the electric pump in a shower that was used by the Special Forces member was not properly grounded. When the current came into the open, the soldier was electrocuted and killed. This happened on January 2, 2008. The Pentagon’s inspector general released a report on July 27, 2009, that firmly stated death was the culmination of multiple failures.

The Army has ordered more services from the company, adding an order to the amount of roughly $568 million to the $35.7 billion already spent on the company.
