Asbestos Attorney

Our law firm is dedicated to helping people and families who are suffering from mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.   Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction of thousands of everyday consumer products.  Asbestos only becomes dangerous when it is broken into small pieces that become airborne.  When these small pieces of asbestos dust are inhaled they settle into the lungs and can cause life threatening diseases. 

The majority of  injury cases are due to asbestos exposure in the workplace.  To date, over 730,000 people have filed claims for asbestos related injuries in the United States alone.  Many families are concerned about whether it is too late to make a claim.  Every state has a different set of time limits called statute of limitations, which is why it is critical to get an attorney consultation as soon as possible.

Asbestos Statute of Limitations Guide

Some states calculate the statute of limitations from the date of the asbestos exposure while others may calculate the deadline starting from the time of the diagnosis.  Some allow a claim that has expired to be revived.  Finally, some states allow a spouse to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the deceased.

Below is a general guideline for each state’s statute of limitations.  Please contact us to determine how the law applies to your particular case.  Call Toll Free 1-866-777-2557 or use our online contact form and one of our Asbestos Attorneys will contact you free of charge.  Do not worry about location, our law firm handles asbestos litigation nationwide.
