Ken Fulginiti

Fulginiti Ken

Ken’s practice is wholly dedicated to helping individuals and families who are victims of catastrophic injury. He is grateful to have been involved in the resolution of many seven and eight-figure cases that provide his clients with financial security after tragedy has struck. In 2018, Ken secured the largest general liability settlement for a minor in Pennsylvania history.

He actively assists the victims of accidents by not only aggressively pursuing cases against national and international companies, their insurance carriers, and law firms, but also effecting change in operations, policy and procedure of entities whenever possible, so as to prevent future injuries.

Ken's primary focus within his practice includes handling cases involving personal and catastrophic injury caused by motor vehicle and trucking accidents; construction accidents; products liability/defects; premises liability; negligent security; medical malpractice; clergy sexual abuse; boating accidents, explosions/burn injuries and athletic injuries.

The complexity of some of the cases he handles is compounded by the often obstructive positions taken by the defense in these larger matters. No matter how intense of an effort taken by the defense or how many attorneys are representing the other side, Ken's hands-on approach, from accident scene analysis, electronic data review, engineering research, and forensic evaluation and testing, provides invaluable insight during discovery and trial. Or, as he often says, “We will not be outworked.” Ken carries an OSHA 10 certification in occupational and workplace safety.

He has represented dozens of athletes in matters involving sports and athletic injuries: football players, jockeys, cyclists, skiers, and, in a 2022 case filing that garnered national attention, a lawsuit against Little League Baseball, Inc. on behalf of the family of a 13-year-old player who suffered a head injury after falling out of a bunk bed at the 2022 Little League World Series.

A recognized leader in the industry, Ken is included annually on the list of Pennsylvania Super Lawyers, has been given the highest possible ranking by Martindale-Hubbell, an attorney ratings service that evaluates lawyers based on reviews by their peers in the industry, and in 2022 was named the “Lawyer of the Year” for Plaintiffs Personal Injury Litigation in Philadelphia by The Best Lawyers in America. He served as president of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, the oldest trial lawyer organization in Pennsylvania, for the 2022-2023 term, and in 2022 co-chaired the Pennsylvania Association for Justice Presidents’ Council.

While he is proud of the professional distinctions he has received, he considers one of his greatest honors the steady stream of catastrophic injury cases referred by his peers in other Philadelphia firms. To those colleagues, he is committed to sharing legal resources, educational information, and legislative updates through articles and publications of interest, seminars and continuing legal educational programs he conducts throughout the calendar year.
