New Jersey

With the development of New Jersey’s large industrial complex, various health concerns have become manifest in the lives of those who lived and worked in the state throughout the years. Concerns include the negative results of individuals working in asbestos filled environments with related negative health effects from mesothelioma.

New Jersey, for a longtime, has maintained a large industrial complex potentially including asbestos filled environments. For example, the 1920s brought tremendous growth to New Jersey’s industrial landscape as many buildings were constructed including the first skyscraper in Newark, New Jersey. In the 1930s, New Jersey’s trolley car system grew as the main source of transportation for workers commuting from their suburban homes to industrial worksites. Over the years, New Jersey’s industry diversified including presence of pharmaceutical, chemical, telecommunication, food processing, oil refinement, and electrical equipment companies. Many of these new industries included work environments including asbestos leading industrial workers to later suffer health effects from mesothelioma.

Large scale industrial worksites also included those developed by the military in support of World War I and II. The New Jersey military industrial complex expanded with the development of naval vessels including battleships and destroyers. During this time, New Jersey’s shipping military industrial complex was one of the largest in the United States. Even today, New Jersey remains home to one of the world’s largest containerized shipping ports. New Jersey’s military and naval shipping industries have also included work environments exposing workers to the harmful effects of asbestos and mesothelioma.

Asbestos has a long history of use in the United States, including New Jersey, and the negative health effects from mesothelioma have been substantiated repeatedly by New Jersey asbestos attorneys in court cases.
