Kenneth B. Fromson

At its core, my work comes down to a single idea: accountability. When someone is harmed by another person’s negligence, a defective product, an unsafe property, or corporate misconduct, there should be consequences, and there should be someone willing to stand up and demand them. For more than thirty years, that is what I have done for injured people and their families, holding individuals, businesses, insurance companies, and manufacturers answerable for the harm they cause.

I have spent my career as a trial attorney, litigating personal injury cases to verdict in both state and federal courts. That courtroom experience is the foundation of everything I do. Insurance companies and corporate defendants pay close attention to which lawyers are genuinely prepared to try a case, and that readiness — the credible willingness to put a case in front of a jury — is often what makes the difference between a dismissive offer and full, fair compensation.

My Role at Jacoby & Meyers

I am a trial partner with Jacoby & Meyers and its affiliated firm, Finkelstein & Partners, and much of my practice is built around the most serious and complex injury cases we handle. I am an active member of the firm’s Neuro Law trial group, which concentrates on traumatic brain injury — injuries that are frequently misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or overlooked entirely in the aftermath of trauma, and that demand both technical rigor and real compassion to prove.

I also work extensively in the firm’s mass tort litigation department, focusing on pharmaceutical products, and I have served as national coordinating and trial counsel in both large, complex drug-product matters and individual cases. Whether I am coordinating litigation against a major manufacturer or preparing a single client’s case for trial, my role is the same: to build the strongest possible case and to be ready to try it.

The Cases I Handle

My practice covers the full range of serious personal injury matters, including:

• Motor vehicle and truck collisions, including catastrophic and distracted-driving cases;
• Construction and workplace injuries, where owners and contractors fail to keep a site safe;
• Product-related injuries, from defective equipment to dangerous consumer goods;
• Pharmaceutical and drug-related injuries, including complex mass tort litigation;
• Traumatic brain injuries and other long-term, life-altering conditions; and
• Skilled nursing facility and nursing home injuries, involving some of the most vulnerable clients we serve.

Across all of these, the common thread is severity. These are cases where the stakes for the injured person are enormous and where the outcome will shape the rest of their life — and they are exactly the cases I have spent my career preparing to try.

How I Work with My Clients

I see my job as more than traditional legal representation. For my clients, I try to serve as a guide, an advisor, a strategist, and an advocate at every stage of a case. From the initial consultation through the resolution of the matter, clients can expect clear communication, real accessibility, thoughtful legal advice, and consistent support.

That matters because a serious injury case is rarely a straight line. There are difficult decisions to make, long stretches of litigation, and moments where the path forward is genuinely uncertain.

My clients should never feel that they are navigating that alone or that their case has been set on a shelf. When a client understands what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next, they can make informed decisions and face the process with far more confidence. Keeping them informed and supported is not a courtesy I add on top of the legal work; it is part of the work itself.

Experience and Representative Work

Over the course of my career, I have been fortunate to secure results that changed my clients’ lives. A few representative outcomes:

• I was part of the trial team that won a $34.3 million Philadelphia jury verdict against Wyeth and its parent company, Pfizer, for a client whose prolonged use of two of the companies’ drugs was linked to her breast cancer.
• I obtained a $31 million jury verdict for a woman who suffered life-altering injuries in a rear-end collision caused by a distracted truck driver.
• Trying a case alongside Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein, I helped secure a $13.5 million unanimous jury verdict for a client injured in a collision.
• On the day of jury selection, we resolved a workplace case for $12.75 million for a truck driver who fell ten feet to a warehouse floor after stepping off an unprotected edge, breaking bones in both feet.
• On the eve of trial, I helped obtain a $7.5 million settlement for a construction flagger injured because the general contractor failed to provide a required spotter when moving equipment.
• I also recovered $1.9 million for a security guard whose defective office chair collapsed beneath him, causing head and back injuries.

(Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different, and results depend on the specific facts involved.)

Why I Do This Work

One of my strongest motivations is a commitment to justice and accountability, to helping people who have been harmed through no fault of their own, and to holding the responsible parties answerable for the consequences of what they did.

Just as important is the chance to advocate for people who might otherwise have little power in the fight. Many injured individuals are facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, physical pain, emotional distress, and deep uncertainty about the future, all while up against insurance companies, large corporations, and well-funded defense teams.

As a plaintiff’s attorney, my role is to level that playing field, to give injured people experienced representation and a real, meaningful opportunity to seek fair compensation. Knowing that my work can restore a client’s financial security, open the door to necessary medical care, and deliver a genuine sense of justice is what has kept me committed to this practice.
