❄️ Monmouth County just got hit with over two feet of snow — and now comes the real risk: untreated ice and dangerous walkways.

Property owners and management companies are responsible for clearing snow and making entrances, sidewalks, and parking lots reasonably safe. When they don’t — and someone gets hurt — they can be held accountable.

If you slipped on untreated snow or ice, document the scene and seek medical care immediately. Evidence disappears quickly as conditions change.

Injured? You may have a claim.
📞 Free consultations available.

If you were injured in a car accident, truck crash, slip and fall, construction accident, or other act of negligence in New Jersey, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Keefe Law Firm represents individuals and families harmed by carelessness, unsafe conditions, and corporate misconduct.

🔍 New Study: PFAS Exposure Linked to 31% Higher Odds of Type 2 Diabetes

A recent peer-reviewed study involving over 360 individuals found that exposure to a mixture of PFAS chemicals was associated with a 31% increase in the odds of developing type 2 diabetes. The largest contributor to this association was perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Researchers also identified specific metabolic markers—such as sulfolithocholylglycine—that suggest PFAS may disrupt pathways related to glucose and fat regulation.

While the study cannot confirm causation, it adds to mounting evidence that PFAS exposure may significantly impact metabolic health.

3M, one of world's the largest PFAS manufacturers, has committed to fully stopping production of the chemicals by the end of 2025. However, the associated long-term health concerns will remain.
