Case Details

Plaintiff was in his pump house when a gas explosion erupted from his water well, causing plaintiff to suffer burns to his face and arm area. Suit was filed against the gas company for drilling wells in a manner that allowed natural gas to escape into the water table, thereby causing the explosion. During the trial, it was revealed that not only was the gas well next to plaintiff’s house drilled this way, but also gas wells all over eastern Kentucky.

Additional Notes

It is believed to be the largest single-plaintiff verdict in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The case was subsequently settled prior to appeal for a confidential amount substantially less than the verdict.
