Filing a Utah Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Our mesothelioma attorneys in Utah 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 on Filing a Lawsuit in Utah

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict how long mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a lawsuit. In Utah, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is 2-3 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one.

It’s important to contact an asbestos lawyer in Utah as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance to take action.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Utah

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 Utah 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 Utah mesothelioma attorneys have helped many 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 Utah 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.

Our Mesothelioma Clients in Utah

Every person diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease has a unique story. Here at Simmons Hanly Conroy, we believe there is power in sharing those stories.

Our lawyers have helped many people over the decades secure mesothelioma compensation. We are honored to have been able to make a significant difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

John’s Story

For more than 40 years, John was exposed to asbestos while working in construction. Like many members of his generation, he wasn’t warned about the risk associated with asbestos exposure.

One morning, John woke up struggling to breathe and went to the hospital. After a series of tests, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pleural mesothelioma. He soon learned the companies responsible for his exposure to asbestos had known it could cause illnesses like mesothelioma.

John reached out to our Utah mesothelioma lawyers for help holding those companies accountable and securing compensation. Today, John is living life on his terms again. His family is financially secure, and he continues to enjoy his days as a mesothelioma survivor.

“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.”

Utah Mesothelioma Legal Questions

What is a Utah mesothelioma lawsuit?

A Utah 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.

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

Can you sue for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in Utah?

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 Utah?

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.

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.
