Monmouth County Asbestos Exposure Attorneys

AsbestosCentral New Jersey asbestos exposure and mesothelioma lawyer

Asbestos was used to insulate buildings for years all the way through the 1980s. It was extensively used in shipyards and in car brakes and clutches. In fact, New Jersey was home to several asbestos manufacturing plants. Years prior to that, studies began linking asbestos exposure to an increased risk of cancer, in particular, lung cancer and mesothelioma. However, asbestos users and manufacturers did not stop using this poisonous material, similar to the way that tobacco companies pretended there was no connection between smoking and cancer.

    • Pulmonary fibrosis
    • Lung cancer
    • Mesothelioma
  • Asbestosis
