About Robert J. Mongeluzzi

Bob holds virtually every record for the largest personal injury verdicts or settlements in Pennsylvania. He has been lead counsel in nearly every high-profile disaster in the region including the Pier 34 collapse at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, the Tropicana Casino collapse in Atlantic City, the Duck Boat disaster on the Delaware River, and the Salvation Army collapse in Center City Philadelphia. He was co-liaison counsel and served on the Plaintiffs’ Management Committee for the litigation arising from the 2015 Amtrak 188 derailment in North Philadelphia. Having been selected as lead counsel in all of these cases, the media has nicknamed him the “ Master of Disasters.”

His reputation has been fueled by an astonishing history of record-setting results. Our clients come to us when they're at their most vulnerable,they've just experienced a devastating injury or personal tragedy. They're going to face multibillion-dollar insurance companies who have enormous resources to fight these cases. They need someone who's not afraid to try a case, to play the game and compete.
