Ken Fulginiti’s practice is wholly dedicated to helping individuals and families who are victims of catastrophic injury. Over the course of decades, he has built a national reputation for his results in commercial trucking and catastrophic injury litigation—cases where the stakes are life-changing and the opposition is formidable. Ken 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, he secured the largest general liability settlement for a minor in Pennsylvania history.
Ken’s work in truck and motor vehicle accident litigation is both extensive and deeply technical. He has tried and resolved cases against some of the largest freight carriers and logistics companies in the country, often uncovering layers of negligence involving driver fatigue, inadequate maintenance, improper loading, and violations of federal safety regulations. His courtroom results and pretrial settlements have not only held wrongdoers accountable but have also led to operational changes in trucking companies and corporate safety policies—helping to prevent future injuries.
He actively assists the victims of accidents by not only aggressively pursuing cases against national and international companies, their insurance carriers, and their law firms, but also by working to effect change in operations, policy, and procedure whenever possible. His goal in every case extends beyond compensation: to make industries safer through accountability.
Ken’s primary focus within his practice includes handling cases involving catastrophic injury caused by motor vehicle and trucking accidents; construction accidents; product defects; premises liability; negligent security; medical malpractice; clergy sexual abuse; boating accidents; explosions and burn injuries; and athletic injuries.
Known for his meticulous trial preparation, Ken brings a hands-on approach to every matter—personally conducting accident scene analysis, electronic data retrieval, engineering research, and forensic evaluation and testing. In complex trucking and products cases where multiple corporate defendants and insurers often mount an aggressive, multi-firm defense, Ken’s trial preparation and command of the evidence often turn the tide. Or, as he puts it: “We will not be outworked.” He also holds an OSHA 10 certification in occupational and workplace safety, giving him a professional understanding of the safety standards that frequently underlie catastrophic injury cases. In 2025, he further expanded his safety and liability expertise by obtaining certification through Pennsylvania’s Responsible Alcohol Management Program (RAMP).
Beyond his trucking and trial work, Ken has represented dozens of athletes in matters involving sports and athletic injuries—football players, jockeys, cyclists, skiers, and, in a 2022 case that drew 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 from a bunk bed at the Little League World Series.
A recognized leader in the legal community, Ken is consistently included on the list of Pennsylvania Super Lawyers, has earned the highest peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell, and in 2022 was named “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 for the 2022–2023 term and co-chaired the Pennsylvania Association for Justice Presidents’ Council that same year.
While proud of his professional distinctions, Ken considers one of his greatest honors the steady stream of catastrophic injury cases referred by peers throughout Pennsylvania and beyond. To those colleagues, he remains committed to sharing his knowledge through articles, lectures, and continuing legal education programs—helping to advance the trial bar’s shared mission of justice for the injured.
