A Texas law firm said it is finalizing a negligence and wrongful death lawsuit against a maintenance contractor in the crash of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter Aug. 22, 2007 in Iraq that killed all 14 soldiers aboard.

Ten of those soldiers were scouts with the 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry "Cacti" out of Schofield Barracks. The four-member crew was based at Fort Lewis, Wash.

The night mission was to pick up two "small kill teams" totalling 20 soldiers who had been dropped off the night before for a mission in Multaka, near the northern Iraq city of Kirkuk.
