Attorney Q&A

What are my legal options?

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is important that you contact an attorney to find out if you have a viable case against a previous employer or company responsible for asbestos exposure. Even if you have lost a loved one to mesothelioma, you may still have an opportunity to secure compensation for your family on behalf of the deceased. Every case varies, so it is important to discuss the details of your case with an attorney that understands the asbestos industry so that you have the best chances of a positive outcome. To have a qualified asbestos attorney review your case, contact Nemeroff Law Firm today.

How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit?

Statutes of limitations on mesothelioma personal injury and wrongful death cases vary from state to state. Typically the time limit to file a case is two years after diagnosis – or in the case of a wrongful death case, the time limit to file is two years after the date of death. The face of asbestos litigation is changing as the government seeks to limit the damages that can be awarded for asbestos-related lawsuits, so it is imperative that you speak with an attorney regarding your mesothelioma case as soon as possible.

How can I find an attorney in my area?

Finding the right attorney to represent you or a loved one in a mesothelioma case is very important. Firms that don’t have a broad understanding of chemical exposure cases (and more specifically, asbestos cases) may not be the best choice for mesothelioma patients as this is a very specialized aspect of personal injury litigation. Attorneys that handle mesothelioma cases on a regular basis understand the needs of their clients and the level of investigation that must take place to prove their client’s asbestos exposure. Further, many mesothelioma attorneys practice in multiple states and can travel to where you are to conveniently provide the representation needed for a successful case. More information from an asbestos attorney that can help you in your area is available from Nemeroff Law Firm.
