Filing Nevada Mesothelioma Claims

Our mesothelioma attorneys in Nevada 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 a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in Nevada

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

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Nevada

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 Nevada 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 Nevada 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 Nevada 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.

John, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

John’s Story

For over 40 years, John worked in construction and regularly handled products that contained asbestos. Decades later, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pleural mesothelioma, the most advanced stage of this cancer.

After his diagnosis, John and his wife reached out to our Nevada mesothelioma lawyers for help securing compensation to pay for his care and getting justice from the companies responsible.

Filing the lawsuit was easy because our attorney made it easy. We didn’t have to do anything,” John said. “We just had to be here when he was and talk to him, so he could explain to us exactly how the process worked.”

Today, John is considered a long-term mesothelioma survivor — and he’s back to doing many of the things he loves with the people who matter most to him.

Arthur Wren, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Arthur’s Story

Arthur spent much of his life laying drywall, often sanding and spraying the material in homes throughout Nevada. He didn’t realize that some of the drywall contained microscopic asbestos fibers, which he unknowingly inhaled.

Decades later, Arthur underwent surgery linked to bronchitis and pneumonia. During the surgery, doctors discovered he had pleural mesothelioma.

Arthur began receiving chemotherapy, and the medical bills quickly added up. However, our Nevada asbestos attorneys were able to help him afford the treatments he needed to extend his life.

By securing compensation from a mesothelioma lawsuit, Arthur was able to focus on his health and being around loved ones during this difficult time.

Mesothelioma Lawyer in Nevada FAQs

What is a Nevada mesothelioma lawsuit?

A Nevada mesothelioma lawsuit is 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.
