A personal injury lawsuit has been filed blaming Sunoco Oil and a gas station operator for a fire that injured an Ohio University student, reports the Athens Messenger. The fire erupted when the automatic shutoff malfunctioned as the woman filled up her tank. According to the Athens Messenger, gasoline pooled on the ground and then burst into flame as the woman removed the nozzle. Over $25,000 in damages are sought for "permanent disfigurement and physical and emotional pain and suffering." The lawsuit alleges that Sunoco Oil and the gas station operator were negligent in maintenance. Damages are also being sought from several companies involved in the manufacturer of the gas station pump.
