Filing Mesothelioma Claims in Arkansas

Our mesothelioma attorneys in Arkansas are prepared to help you understand the lawsuit process and guide you through the legal system. We have more than 60 mesothelioma attorneys at our firm who focus solely on helping people like you.

Each senior attorney operates within a small team of several experienced attorneys, legal staff members, and registered nurses, which ensures you’ll receive personalized attention while your case progresses.

Your legal team can pursue mesothelioma compensation in several ways:

Asbestos Trust Fund Claims: Over $30 billion is estimated to still be available in asbestos trust funds for mesothelioma victims and their families — and you don’t have to step foot in court to get it.
Mesothelioma Lawsuits: Filing a lawsuit can secure significant compensation from the companies responsible for your asbestos exposure and illness.
Veterans Benefits: Veterans make up 33% of all mesothelioma cases because asbestos was used across all branches of the military. VA benefits can offer victims health care and monthly compensation.

Together, your team can handle every step of the legal process on your behalf, from collecting evidence for your case to filing your claim in time.

Deadline to File an Asbestos Lawsuit in Arkansas

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict how long mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a lawsuit. In Arkansas, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is 3 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one.

It’s important to contact our asbestos lawyers in Arkansas as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance to take action.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Arkansas

During the 20th century, more than 1 million U.S. workers were exposed to asbestos, a dangerous mineral that can cause the cancer mesothelioma, and many face serious health risks to this day.

Quick Facts About Asbestos

Asbestos is a natural mineral that is durable and resistant to heat
Over 3,000 household and industrial products contained asbestos, including roofing shingles, talcum powder, automobile brakes, insulation, boilers, and more
Multiple industries, like manufacturing, steel working, and shipbuilding, used asbestos
Inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma to develop 10-50 years after initial exposure
Secondary exposure occurs when asbestos is brought home on a worker’s clothes, skin, or hair, exposing others indirectly

Some job sites, homes, and older buildings in Arkansas may still contain asbestos, putting workers and residents at risk of exposure even today.

What If I Don’t Know How I Was Exposed?

Our knowledgeable Arkansas mesothelioma attorneys have helped many past clients identify where they were exposed to asbestos and which companies may be responsible.

Over the past two decades, we’ve gathered evidence on thousands of Arkansas job sites where asbestos was used. It’s possible we’ve already represented someone who worked at the same spot as you.

Let us put our experience to work for your family. Call (800) 326-8900 now to get started for free.

What is an Arkansas mesothelioma lawsuit?

Arkansas mesothelioma lawsuits are a type of product liability claim against the companies that made or used the asbestos products a mesothelioma patient was exposed to.

Since many companies knowingly hid the dangers of asbestos from their employees and consumers, victims may be able to hold asbestos companies accountable and pursue compensation for injuries they suffered as a result of the companies’ products.

Contact us now to see if you may be able to seek compensation from an Arkansas mesothelioma lawsuit.

Can you sue for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in Arkansas?

You may be able to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in Arkansas if you:

Were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease

Even if your loved one has passed away, you may still be able to seek compensation on their behalf by filing a mesothelioma claim after their death.

What is the mesothelioma statute of limitations in Arkansas?

Unfortunately, asbestos exposure victims only have a short window of time after their mesothelioma diagnosis to file a claim due to statutes of limitations, which are state-specific deadlines on when you can file a lawsuit.

In Arkansas, you only have 3 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one to file a mesothelioma claim. Once these deadlines pass, it’s too late to take legal action for your illness.

Contact us as soon as possible. Our team can listen to what’s going on and let you know if you still have time to take legal action — even if you think the deadline may have already passed.
