A man received a $1.3 million dollar settlement involving an accident that occurred on the job while working.  The man was operating a glass bottle manufacturing machine when his shirt caught on fire which resulted in him receiving severe burns on his body.

The man's attorney stated that his client's medical bills were almost over $1 million dollars alone. The man was unable to work for over 3 years after the accident because of his injuries. 

It seems that both sides feel that this settlement is a good ending to a serious accident.  When the defendants settled one stated that although they settled,  it did not mean they took responsibility for the accident but that it was the best thing to do.
