I have been representing victims of asbestos-related diseases since 1992 when I first joined the asbestos law firm of Garruto Cantor in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Although the name of the firm has changed over the years, my desire to help the unfortunate victims of asbestos disease has never diminished.
The purpose of this page is to inform our asbestos clients that under New Jersey law, if a person suffering from asbestosis sues, but then later after the asbestosis case is over, develops another asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma or lung cancer, that person may be able to file another lawsuit against the companies responsible for the disease and receive more money. In this regard, New Jersey is sometimes referred to as a "two-disease" state because our courts recognize the importance of protecting workers' rights and compensating them fully for their injuries.
Our firm is dedicated to protecting our clients and those who may have suffered from asbestosis and then later developed another asbestos-related condition. If you would like to discuss this issue with us or if you have any questions about your rights or the rights of a loved one, please contact us immediately.
