Joseph A. Gorman

Joseph A. Gorman continues to concentrate his practice on the defense of catastrophic loss matters involving personal injury and economic damages. His practice frequently involves the defense of insured and self-insured local, national, and international companies facing potential exposure in the millions of dollars for injuries including death, traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia, paraplegia, loss of limb, property loss, and commercial damages.

This complex trial practice includes product liability, construction site liability, workplace safety, commercial premises liability, dram shop liability, electrical accidents, crane accidents, fires, explosions, medical malpractice, and general casualty disputes. As a member of the Catastrophic Loss Group team, Joe is often involved in taking over and handling these high exposure, catastrophic cases on very short notice.

Joe was part of the team that represented Ride The Ducks International (RTDI) and Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation in connection with the personal injury and maritime litigation arising out of an allision of a tug driven barge and a tourist duck boat on the Delaware River on July 7, 2010. The allision resulted in the deaths of two Hungarian students and numerous injury claims from other passengers onboard the amphibious vessel.

Joe received his undergraduate degree from Temple University and law degree from Widener University, where he was a member of the Widener Law Review. Upon graduating law school, he served as a law clerk with the Honorable Laura M. LeWinn in Superior Court of New Jersey in Trenton, New Jersey.
