Description
This is an oil field fatality case. The action arose out of an accident that occurred on March 18, 1969, when Demprey Williams, while operating a bulldozer, struck a pipeline, resulting in a rupture of the line, a spillage of oil and a fire that claimed his life. Appellees, Mrs. Ruby Williams (surviving wife of decedent) and Mrs. Billie Ramsey (sole child of decedent) filed suit against Coastal States Crude Gathering Company, Pan American Petroleum Corporation and Field Drilling Company (hereinafter called "Coastal States", "Pan Am" and "Field", respectively) for damages alleged to have been sustained by them as a result of the accident that caused decedents death. The pipeline that was struck was owned by Coastal States. Field had contracted with Pan Am to drill a well at a location near the pipeline. C. H. Harris (hereinafter called "Harris") had contracted with Field to dig a water pit to be used in connection with the drilling of the well. Demprey Williams (hereinafter called "Williams") was an employee of Harris.
