When to Contact a New Jersey Mesothelioma Attorney

New Jersey ranks eighth in the nation for mesothelioma cases and deaths.  Mesothelioma is a disease that results from long-term exposure to asbestos, a mineral that occurs naturally in the environment.

A key reason why New Jersey is high on the list of states struggling to deal with mesothelioma and asbestos exposure is that during the 20th century, New Jersey was a leading industrial center.  While asbestos is now widely recognized as a dangerous substance, it was once used extensively throughout New Jersey industry, including the shipyards, factories, and construction trades.

Because of its remarkable insulating and heat-resistant properties, workers routinely handled asbestos until the 1970s to make many common products, including the following:

Vinyl floor tiles Insulation materials Train cars Brake and clutch pads

Ceiling tiles Wall insulation Stucco, paint, and plaster Cement pipes

As soon as you or a loved one is diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, the dedicated, knowledgeable New Jersey asbestos lawyers at Brookman, Rosenberg, Brown & Sandler (BRBS) can help you file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against former employers, manufacturers, or other responsible parties.

A New Jersey Asbestos Lawyer Can Fight for You

While it is a natural substance, breathing in asbestos fibers can cause a buildup of scar-like tissue in the lungs called asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other cancerous diseases.  Between the decades of 1940 and 1970 when asbestos use was prevalent, many workers were unaware that the asbestos substances they were handling or inhaling posed a serious health risk.

The unfortunate truth about mesothelioma is that the disease can be prevented if employers follow safety regulations and provide safe working conditions for their workers.  But for many New Jersey workers, the damage is done.  Since the symptoms of mesothelioma can take decades to appear, many are now being newly diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases long after they worked in the factories, shipyards, and construction sites across New Jersey.
