File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in New Jersey

Due to the widespread production and usage of asbestos products, the risk of exposure in New Jersey is equally broad. However, locations near businesses or worksites that used asbestos pose greater risks, such as the Superfund site in Millington, connected to National Gypsum’s asbestos cement manufacturing operations.

Although asbestos has been banned in New Jersey since 2019 and e in the U.S. since 2024, many cities with historical ties to asbestos manufacturers are still suffering the consequences of these companies’ historical negligence. 

New Jersey cities most impacted by asbestos: 

• Manville
• Millington
• Camden 
• Newark
• Trenton
• Bound Brook 
• Bloomfield

When asbestos is mined, manufactured, installed, repaired, removed, or disturbed, it sheds microscopic particles. These particles can remain suspended in the air for hours, allowing workers to inhale or ingest them and causing serious illnesses decades later. 

Negligent asbestos companies failed to warn employees and consumers about the dangers of their products. Many industrial workers in New Jersey worked in poorly ventilated areas without protective gear, regularly exposing themselves to high levels of asbestos. 

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of occupational exposure, we are here to help you hold the negligent companies that harmed you accountable. Our legal partners, Meirowitz & Wasserberg, have decades of experience advocating for asbestos workers and their families. 

High-risk occupations:

• Boiler technicians
• Chemical engineers
• Chemical plant workers
• Construction workers
• HVAC technicians
• Insullators
• Laborers
• Maintenance workers
• Manufacturing workers
• Millwrights
• U.S. military veterans

Although asbestos is no longer used in manufacturing and many states, including New Jersey, have strict rules surrounding asbestos testing and remediation, many older buildings and vehicles still contain asbestos components due to its historic popularity. 

Asbestos was a low-cost, naturally abundant fireproofing solution that was also highly durable, nonconductive, and resistant to chemical corrosion. Manufacturers valued these properties so highly that many continued using asbestos in their products until the federal government implemented regulations in the 1970s, despite decades of knowledge of its dangers.
