100% of Ken's practice is dedicated to helping individuals and families who are the victims of catastrophic injury. Ken is grateful to have been involved in the resolution of many seven and eight figure cases that have provided the financial security his clients have needed when tragedy hits. In 2018, Ken secured the largest general liability settlement for a minor in Pennsylvania history. He has secured recoveries in cases involving children that far exceed $100,000,000.
He and his firm have also actively assisted the victims of accidents by not only aggressively pursuing cases against national and international companies, their insurance carriers, and law firms, but by providing sponsorship and charitable assistance to such activities as wheelchair sports, and other fundraising events.
Ken's primary focus within his practice includes handling cases involving personal and catastrophic injury caused by products liability (defects), premises liability, construction/industrial accidents and motor vehicle/trucking accidents. The complexity of some of these cases is compounded by the often obstructive positions taken by the defense in these larger matters. Ken's hands-on approach, from accident scene analysis, electronic data review, engineering research, and forensic evaluation and testing, has provided invaluable insight during discovery and trial. He carries an OSHA 10 certification in occupational and workplace safety.
Ken is included annually in 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. However, he considers one of his greatest honors the steady stream of catastrophic injury cases referred by his peers in other Philadelphia firms. To those peers, he is committed to sharing legal resources, educational information and legislative updates through seminars and continuing legal educational programs he conducts throughout the calendar year. Additionally, he has authored articles and publications of interest, such as a chapter he co-authored in the book "Nursing Malpractice, Trial Techniques."

- Product liability insurance is essential for small businesses involved in manufacturing, distributing, or selling products. It protects against claims that a product caused injury or property damage—claims that can be financially devastating, especially for businesses without the legal and financial resources of larger corporations. This type of insurance typically covers legal defense costs, medical expenses, settlements, and judgments related to product defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings. Even if a business is not directly at fault, it may still be held liable under strict liability laws. While some general liability policies include product liability coverage, many small businesses benefit from additional standalone policies or endorsements tailored to their specific risks. Having this coverage not only provides financial protection but also builds consumer trust, signaling a commitment to safety and accountability. Given that product-related lawsuits can result in significant financial awards, lacking proper coverage can put the future of a business at serious risk. Premiums are generally affordable and vary depending on the type of product, business size, and industry. Small business owners are encouraged to assess their exposure and consult with insurance professionals to ensure they have adequate protection in place., Product liability insurance: What small businesses need it and why?, Product Liability, 2025
