Maseth v. KBR (Iraq Electrocution)
The parents of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Maseth filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that KBR was responsible for the death of their son, who was electrocuted in January 2008 while taking a shower at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex in Baghdad.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in December 2016.
