New Jersey Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma Lawyer
Asbestos was used to insulate buildings up through the 1980s. It was extensively used in shipyards and in car brakes and clutches. 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. Asbestos users and manufacturers did not stop using this poisonous material, just like tobacco companies pretended there was no connection between smoking and cancer.
We Were Among the Few Law Firms Fighting for Innocent Victims
Our founding lawyer, Frances Tomes, was among the few lawyers nationwide who spearheaded the movement for justice for the people stricken with asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer and other terminal illnesses as a result of their employer's failure to warn them of the dangers of asbestos exposure. This was in the 1980s. Since that time, Tomes & Hanratty, P.C., has represented thousands of victims of asbestos exposure as well as the families of those who have lost loved ones due to toxic exposure. Fighting for injured people is all that we do across all personal injury areas.

How Does Asbestos Contribute to Disease?
Even a tiny amount of asbestos fibers can cause problems in the lungs. These fibers stick to the lining of the lungs and there is no way to remove them. Diseases that can develop from this toxic exposure include:
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Lung cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
Frances Tomes was one of three trial attorneys representing plaintiffs in the first multi plaintiff trial in asbestos litigation resulting in a combined verdict of over $1 million. She's also handled numerous other multiplaintiff litigation cases.
