Wrongful Death Lawsuits to Move Forward

By Greg Owen

ADVERTISEMENTS

Lawsuits over KBR (a former subsidiary of Halliburton) drivers' deaths in Iraq could be tried in 2009.

It appears that families who have filed lawsuits against the military contractors may finally get their day in court, according to a federal court judge.

The suits center around Halliburton. The families claim that they knowingly and unnecessarily sent convoys with their family members into dangerous areas, which ultimately ended in the death of several solders and injuries of others in 2004.

Initially, the cases were dismissed, but were subsequently sent back to Judge Gary Miller by the federal appeals court. Attorneys have been advised to prepare for trial, which may go forward in 2009. More than 110 of KBR's former employees have died in Iraq since it started there under a multibillion-dollar contract in 2003.
