Rodney Dangerfield and Caesars Palace have settled a lawsuit stemming from the comedian's claim he suffered eye injuries in an accident in the steam room. The amount of the settlement Monday was not disclosed. The comic contended he was sprayed with scalding steam after a performance at the resort in 1988. A jury awarded him $500,000 last year for pain caused by the accident and $225,000 for shows he missed. A judge in August reduced the pain and suffering portion to $50,000. Dangerfield had planned to go back to court, contending the injury had become worse and prevented him from working much of the past year.
