Attorney Richard Madurski was drawn to medical malpractice law because it blends science, medicine, and courtroom advocacy. With family in the medical field, he understands both sides and uses that insight to fight for clients facing complex medical issues.

For families living near the former Aeromarine landfill in Keyport, New Jersey, concerns about cancer are about much more than statistics. They are about neighbors, friends, parents, and loved ones facing diagnoses while an entire community searches for answers.

Residents have reported more than 400 cancer cases in Keyport and surrounding areas, with concerns surrounding potential exposure to contaminants such as benzene, arsenic, PCBs, vinyl chloride, and heavy metals. While no agency has officially designated the area a cancer cluster, the growing number of reported illnesses has brought increased attention to the community and the former landfill.

Families deserve answers about the environment where they have lived, raised their children, and built their lives. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after living near the Aeromarine site, documenting your residential and medical history and understanding your legal options can be important steps forward.

A trip-and-fall near a busy Newark train station wasn’t just “an accident.” Years-old sidewalk holes from removed tree grates created a dangerous condition that should have been fixed long ago.

If you’re hurt because a hazard was ignored, you may have legal options.

Serious health concerns are growing among families living near the former Aeromarine landfill in Keyport, New Jersey. Residents have reported hundreds of cancer diagnoses in and around the neighborhood, prompting the New Jersey Department of Health to open an investigation.

Testing and reporting surrounding the site have identified contaminants including benzene, arsenic, PCBs, vinyl chloride, heavy metals, and methane gas. While officials have not yet confirmed a cancer cluster or established that the landfill caused residents’ illnesses, the concerns have led to calls for further state and federal investigation.

If you or a loved one developed cancer after living near the Aeromarine site, understanding your exposure history and legal options may be an important next step.

Memory loss isn't always a normal part of aging, and an Alzheimer's diagnosis isn't always the correct answer. In some cases, symptoms that resemble Alzheimer's disease may actually be caused by a treatable medical condition that was missed or misdiagnosed.

When doctors fail to properly evaluate symptoms, order appropriate testing, or recognize another underlying condition, patients may lose valuable time for treatment and experience unnecessary harm. If you believe a delayed or incorrect diagnosis resulted from medical negligence, you may have legal options.
