Four companies have reached a $10.65 million settlement in a Philadelphia court case stemming from an acid accident at an automotive-battery manufacturer that left one man dead and another burned. The attorney for both men said $6.6 million will go to the dead man's estate and $4 million will go to his burned co-worker. The settling companies were involved in the manufacture, sale, and installation of a sulfuric acid tank; the employer apparently had immunity under state workers' compensation law.
