Family Of Oklahoma Burn Victim Sues Propane Tank Manufacturers

By Attorney Ray Maples on August 8, 2011

After an explosion in June at Bill Dog’s Saloon in Caney, Oklahoma, the family of a man who was critically burned in the accident is suing the manufacturers of an allegedly faulty propane tank.

As reported by NewsOK, a 32-year-old man was inside the structure when it exploded, just before 7:30 a.m. on June 5. The man lit a cigarette, according to officials, which triggered the blast.

The man’s attorney said the victim retained burns on more than 78 percent of his body and was left without a nose or ears. Surgeons were forced to amputate part of his foot as well as a finger. The attorney also said his client has been in a medically induced coma for the past month and is fighting burn infections.
