He has also handled cases involving dangerous pharmaceuticals such as Vioxx and Reglan.

After spending an additional five years at another small plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Philadelphia, where he continued his winning record of representing injured victims, he re-joined Flager & Associates after an 11-year absence in 2018.

Edward J. Zanine, Esq.

On June 6, 2018, our firm lost a dedicated employee and dear friend, Edward “Ed” Zanine, our firm’s Senior Associate. Our firm – our family – mourns his passing.

Ed was much beloved among our staff and even more so by the many clients he had tirelessly served through his more than 10 years at Flager & Associates. His tragic passing at age 49 came as a shock to us all.

Ed was an outstanding, dedicated, ethical and honest lawyer, who was completely devoted to providing our clients the very finest in legal representation. Smart, tough and tenacious, he was one of the engines of our litigation department since he joined the firm in 2007. His keen intellect and shrewd approach to litigation was integral to his securing millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for injured clients over the years. Most importantly, however, he was a warm, wonderful human being, a devoted husband for 23 years and a fantastic, loving father to three incredible children. One could not ask for a better friend, and all who knew him will miss his presence in their lives.

On behalf of the entire Flager & Associates family, we honor the life and accomplishments of Ed Zanine. His time at our firm, and among those who knew, loved and worked with him, will always be cherished and remembered.
