New Jersey PFAS Firefighting Foam Cancer Lawsuit: Your Rights When the Tools That Saved Lives Turned on the People Who Used Them If you are a New Jersey firefighter reading this at 2 a.m., or the spouse of one, or the adult child of a man or woman who served a fire department in this state for decades and then heard the word cancer — you already know more than most people ever will about what is happening. You know the state just announced it is collecting firefighting foam from more than 400 fire departments and shipping it to Ohio to be destroyed. You may have been at the firehouse when the collection happened. You may have held a container of AFFF in your hands a thousand times — at training, at a fuel-fire call, at the airport, on the base. And now the state is telling you that the foam you used, the foam that was supposed to protect you, contained chemicals linked to cancer, and that cancer is the number one killer of firefighters in this state. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort and chemical exposure cases for people across New Jersey,…

New Jersey Is Pulling 150,000 Gallons of Toxic Foam Off Firehouse Shelves — If You Used It, The Clock On Your Rights Has Already Started You are a firefighter in New Jersey. Maybe you are career, maybe you are volunteer — the kind who shows up to the Jacobstown firehouse on a Tuesday night because that is what you do. Maybe you spent twenty years running calls in Camden County, or you trained at the county center where they blanketed an open field with foam so often the grass never grew back right. Maybe you are the spouse sitting at the kitchen table at 2 a.m. with a pathology report that says kidney cancer or testicular cancer or thyroid disease, and you are trying to understand how a person who never smoked, who was strong, who ran into burning buildings for other people’s families, got sick. Or maybe you are not a firefighter at all. Maybe you live in Burlington County on a private well, and you just learned that the foam they sprayed on a car fire on the side of Route 537 ran into the ditch that feeds the aquifer you drink from. You did not choose to…

Deepwater, NJ PFAS Contamination: Salem County Residents’ Rights After the Chemours Settlement You just heard the news. The company that runs the massive chemical plant down the road — the one that has been part of this community for longer than anyone alive can remember — agreed to pay millions for contaminating your drinking water with chemicals that never break down. Maybe you read the headline and felt relief. Maybe you felt fury. Maybe you felt both at once, and then a third thing underneath: the quiet question you might not have said out loud yet. What about me? What about my family? What about the cancer, the kidney disease, the blood test that came back wrong, the child whose development is not where it should be? Does this settlement fix any of that? It does not. And that is why you are reading this page. The $22.5 million civil penalty and the $90 million treatment program address what the government demanded — penalties for years of permit violations, promises to reduce future discharges, and a clean water supply for residents going forward. Those are real things. But the settlement does not pay for your cancer treatment. It does not…

Camden, New Jersey Clergy Sexual Abuse Settlement: What $180 Million Means for Survivors — and What Comes Next If you are reading this page, you may be one of the approximately 300 survivors whose claims against the Diocese of Camden are part of the $180 million settlement announced this week. Or you may be someone who was abused by clergy in South Jersey and has not yet come forward — wondering whether the door is still open, whether it is too late, whether anyone will listen. We are writing to you directly, and we want you to hear this first: what happened to you was not your fault, it was not God’s will, and the law of New Jersey gives you rights that no institution can take away. The settlement announced by Bishop Joseph Williams — covering the Diocese of Camden and its six southern New Jersey counties — is a milestone, not an endpoint. It represents institutional accountability for approximately 300 survivors who had the extraordinary courage to come forward. But the ongoing state grand jury investigation, authorized by the New Jersey Supreme Court after the diocese withdrew its objection, means the door may still be open for survivors…

Carneys Point Clergy Sexual Abuse Settlement: What Survivors and Families Need to Know If you are reading this page, you may be carrying something you have carried for a very long time. Maybe decades. Maybe you told someone and were not believed. Maybe you told no one because the man who hurt you said he would kill your family if you ever spoke. Maybe you tried to bury it — worked a string of jobs, drank, stayed disconnected from everyone who tried to get close — and the day came when you realized that if you did not start dealing with what happened to you, it was going to kill you. We want you to hear three things before anything else. First: what happened to you was not your fault. Not then, not now, not in any version of the story. The man who abused you made a choice. The institution that put him in a position of power over you and then looked the other way made a choice. You were a child. Second: it is not too late. New Jersey changed its law specifically because the legislature understood that survivors of institutional sexual abuse often cannot come forward…

The Diocese of Camden Settlement: What It Means for Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse in New Jersey If you are reading this because you survived sexual abuse by clergy in South Jersey — or because someone you love did — you already know more about this story than any headline can carry. You know what the silence costs. You know what it took to even begin to think about coming forward, and you may be wondering whether this settlement, this number on a screen, has anything to do with you. We are writing this page because it might. And because the answer to that question has a deadline attached to it. The Diocese of Camden has agreed to pay $180 million into a trust for more than 300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse. That settlement supplements a prior $87.5 million settlement reached in 2022, bringing the total to approximately $267.5 million in compensation across the diocese’s six South Jersey counties — Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem. The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020, and this settlement still needs to be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court overseeing that case before a single dollar moves. We…

The Camden Diocese Settlement: What It Means for You and Every Survivor Reading This at 2 AM If you are reading this page, you already know what happened. You do not need us to describe the crime — you lived it, or someone you love lived it, inside a building that was supposed to be sacred, at the hands of a man who was supposed to be trustworthy, supervised by an institution that was supposed to protect you. What you need to know is what happens now. The Diocese of Camden has agreed to pay $180 million to approximately 300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse. The settlement was announced after the diocese spent years in Chapter 11 bankruptcy — a filing it made in 2020, not as an act of contrition, but as a legal strategy to corall hundreds of claims into one federal proceeding where a bankruptcy judge, not a jury, would decide what each survivor’s suffering was worth. The bishop wrote a letter. He said the words survivors deserved to hear decades ago: “We believe you, we are sorry. And we are committed to walking a different path with you going forward.” Those words matter. But words do…

Jersey City UPS Truck Killed a 6-Year-Old Child: Your Legal Rights, the Evidence Clock, and Why This Child Bears No Fault If you are reading this at a kitchen table at two in the morning, we need you to hear three things before anything else. Your six-year-old bears no legal fault for what happened — New Jersey law is explicit about that, and we will explain exactly why below. The evidence of how this collision occurred exists right now, inside UPS’s own computer systems — telematics data, camera footage, vehicle records — and some of it can be legally erased within days. And the company that sent that truck into your neighborhood has already begun building its defense, likely within hours of the collision, using investigators and lawyers whose job is to protect UPS, not to find the truth for your family. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle commercial-vehicle wrongful death cases, and we write this page as the senior trial attorneys who build them. Everything below is legal information, not legal advice. This page is educational. We are not counsel on this incident and have taken no action on it. But if your family is…

Waldwick Police Officer Killed by J.B. Hunt Tractor-Trailer on Route 17 — A Forensic Legal Analysis If you are reading this because someone you love was killed by a commercial truck on a New Jersey highway, we want you to understand something before you read another word: what happened was not an unavoidable accident. A commercial motor vehicle operator’s most basic duty — the one that every trucker is trained for, tested on, and licensed to perform — is to see and avoid stationary vehicles in the roadway. When an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer drives into the back of a parked car, that duty was not met. The question is never whether the crash was preventable. It is what the carrier and its insurer are already doing to make sure you never learn how preventable it was. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle 18-wheeler accident cases and wrongful death claims for families across the country, including in New Jersey. This page is a forensic legal analysis of a specific collision — the July 17, 2014, death of a Waldwick police officer who was struck from behind by a J.B. Hunt tractor-trailer while running speed enforcement on the…
