Mesothelioma Claims

Yes. State laws called statutes of limitations usually allow victims one to five years (depending on the state) from the diagnosis or discovery of mesothelioma to file a lawsuit.

If a mesothelioma claim is not started within the allowed timeframe, mesothelioma patients and their survivors could be forever prevented from doing so.

The mesothelioma statute of limitations varies depending on the facts and location of each case.

It is critical not only to act promptly but also to hire an experienced mesothelioma law firm that will find ways to get the most money possible in the least amount of time. Working with the right mesothelioma attorney could be the difference between winning and losing a case.

There isn’t one “best” type of mesothelioma claim, and the type of claim you should file depends on the specific factors in your case.

You may even be able to pursue compensation through multiple types of claims.

At Simmons Hanly Conroy, we handle each mesothelioma claim on an individual basis, walking our clients through all possible options available to them.

It is well documented that manufacturing and insurance companies knew of the dangers of asbestos exposure as early as the 1930s. They knew that mesothelioma and lung cancer were directly related to inhaling asbestos fibers, yet they remained silent.

Even today, asbestos companies work hard to avoid admitting fault. This is why Simmons Hanly Conroy mesothelioma attorneys work tirelessly to help secure compensation for those harmed by asbestos. We encourage anyone who developed mesothelioma to contact our team and learn their legal options.

The primary factor involved in mesothelioma claim amounts is proving liability against specific companies or manufacturers. A link must be established between the mesothelioma diagnosis and asbestos-containing products that were made by specific manufacturers.

Because each mesothelioma claim is unique, it is important to work with a skilled asbestos law firm that can identify all possible sources of recovery.

These compensation sources may include:

• Corporations that used asbestos in their products
• Property owners of structures and job sites that contained asbestos
• Manufacturers of machinery with asbestos-containing parts
• Manufacturers of tools used to cut asbestos-containing parts
• Hardware, automotive and home improvement stores that sold products that contain asbestos

Our long history of filing — and securing compensation from — mesothelioma claims gives us a clear understanding of how to build the strongest case possible.

Our clients don’t have to worry about the factors involved in mesothelioma claims and can, in turn, focus on their health and their families instead.

If a mesothelioma patient begins the legal process but passes away before the claim is completed, their spouse, child or estate representative may be able to continue the lawsuit and pursue compensation on their behalf.

Potentially, yes. The mesothelioma patient’s spouse, children or estate representative may be able to file asbestos claims after the death of their loved one.
