Quoted from MinusWorlds:

A buddy of mine used to be a cook at a seafood restaurant. He was transferring the hot grease for the fryolator and dropped the whole thing on his legs. He still has massive scaring and had multiple skin grafts. I do not recall the details but there was a reason the restaurant was at fault. Something procedural I think. Anyway, when he was 18 he got the settlement. It was $5k. I remember him blowing his windfall. He thought he had so much money. Now I look back and think his lawyer must have really sucked.
