The jury found that Team Industrial Services, a Texas-based subcontractor to Westar Energy, was 90% responsible for the death of Jesse Henson, of Manhattan, the family’s attorneys said in a news release Tuesday.
Henson and a co-worker, Damien Burchett, of Overbrook, were burned alive when they were investigating a loss of power at the steam plant near St. Marys, Kansas, on June 3, 2018.
Westar, which is now called Evergy, was found to be 10% responsible, The Wichita Eagle reported.
The deaths occurred after Team finished rebuilding parts in three-generation units at the coal-fired plant.
Burchett and Henson went to investigate a loss of steam at one of the three units. When their elevator door opened, they were engulfed in superheated steam that leaked from the defective rebuilt valve, according to the lawsuit.
Team argued Westar and Henson were largely responsible for the accident.
Evergy spokeswoman Gina Penzig said the company would have no immediate comment on the case.
Burchett’s relatives have filed a separate lawsuit for his death.

“The Topeka Golden Giants came into the MidPlains League in 2014,”

Bettis Sports Field in Topeka and just moved to Rossville this summer. Most of
these guys get drafted or play minor league ball somewhere. All of the Golden
Giants players are college players.”
The Topeka
Golden Giants began as an independent club in 2014, with former owner Brett
Cowdin spearheading an effort to establish a collegiate baseball team in
Topeka.
Following
the 2020 season, the Golden Giants were acquired by new ownership and the
Golden Giants return for 2021 with a focus on entertainment and fan
experience.

Fans can purchase tickets with an “all you can eat and drink” beer garden
