On February 10, 2013 -- A wrongful death lawsuit
involving Marathon Oil and the mother of a 21-year-old Montana man
found dead at a western North Dakota oil well in 2012 was settled.
Trista Juhnke filed the suit in Montana’s Yellowstone County in July.
Fred
Bremseth, Juhnke’s Minneapolis-based attorney, told the Bismarck
Tribune on Friday that the case “was settled on a confidential basis.”
Marathon spokeswoman Lee Warren confirmed to the newspaper that a
no-fault settlement was reached Thursday.
Dustin Bergsing was
found unresponsive on an oil storage tank’s catwalk near Mandaree in
Dunn County on Jan. 7, 2012. The cover of the tank was open.
North
Dakota’s medical examiner ruled that Bergsing, of Edgar, Montana, died
from hydrocarbon poisoning due to inhaling petroleum vapors. Bergsing
had no health problems and the coroner’s report showed there were no
drugs or other toxic substances in his system.
Bergsing worked for
Across Big Sky Flow Testing of Dickinson, which was contracted by
Marathon Oil. Eric Brooks, assistant area director for the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, said OSHA found no violations of
federal standards during its investigation.
