Oil Well Burn Victim Files Civil Lawsuit

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

In Tennessee, an unlikely place for an oil well, a man was ignited in March while driving by a drill site as it exploded. Now, it appears Jonathan Vann is filing a 4.5MM USD Civil Suit against Dan Potts, owner of the well.

The owner, Potts, was already cited for drilling too deeply, safety violations and other sundry issues involving his speculating area. Now, it appears that his very life’s savings is at stake in this Lawsuit. Vann is claiming permanent and seriously debilitating burns on his body as the root of the Civil action.

The cause of the explosion and subsequent fire is cited as leaking oil from the well.
