Case Name: Kathleen E. Brennan, et al. v Casco Bay Island Transit District
Date of Judgment: 11th May 2009
Court: U.S.D.C. - D. Maine
Judge: Magistrate Judge Rich III
Citation: 2009 WL 1307875 (D.Me.)

Background: The plaintiffs, Kathleen Brennan and Thomas Brennan, filed suit against their employer, Casco Bay Island Transit District ("Casco").

The Brennan's worked as deckhands on Casco's ferry, the MAQUOIT II.  On August 13, 2004, Kathleen Brennan was ordered to stand on the bumper of a car to help weigh it down so it could pass under the overhead bar. More weight was needed so Thomas Brennan also got on the bumper. To make room for Thomas, Kathleen moved towards the center of the bumper.
