A workplace explosion and fire resulted in three severely burned victims and one fatality. This products liability case concluded with a $42 million settlement on behalf of the three victims and the family of the man who was killed. This amount is believed to be one of the largest personal injury settlements in Virginia during 2016. Four claims were filed against the defendants; Chris Guedri and Jason Konvicka served as lead counsel on two of the cases and assisted on the others.
