He tripped and spilled the oil . In the process the hot oil burned his right hand pretty bad along with splashing his leg and face.

It took him a couple of months to recover and his hand is OK now but scared.

The Army paid for everything which I think came to about $20,000.
I am sorry about your son.

I am happy my daughter was not with me that day. She went with me on many occasions. I also, worked as an assistant for Quadriplegics Most were vets.
