Two sets of Pennsylvania lawyers have settled for $2.5 million a workplace injury action filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court but later transferred to Berks County, Pa., following a heavily contested improper venue motion. The matter stemmed from truck driver Joseph Guido's claims that lax safety precautions at a Koch Materials refinery caused a debilitating fall. "The case would've settled for double [what it did] if it stayed in Philadelphia County," plaintiffs attorney Richard Jurewicz said.
