Joe Tucker, the founder of Tucker Law Group, was among the attorneys who represented the plaintiffs, Brittany Jacobs and her mother, against multiple defendants, including REV Group. Tucker said a pivotal pretrial ruling kicked off a series of victories for their client, which moved the defendants to settle midtrial.

The day of jury selection, Judge Angelo Foglietta of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas determined the remaining defendant in the case, REV Group, could be held liable for the allegedly defective bus despite the fact that it did not manufacture the vehicle.
