Oregon Teen Disfigured During School Trip to Costa Rica Sues For $20M
An Oregon teenager who was disfigured during a school trip in Costa Rica has filed a $20.8 million lawsuit against his former high school.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that Joseph Christopher Johnson filed the suit earlier this week against Salem Academy, a private Christian school with around 700 students.
A school representative declined to comment.
The suit claims that Johnson has been in continuous pain for the past two years, has permanent scars because of the incident and has soaring medical bills.
