It is important that once you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma to find an attorney as soon as possible.
First all states have statute of limitations; which dictate a certain time period in which the case must be filed. If the case is not timely filed in court you may lose your rights against those defendants and never receive the compensation that you deserve. The statute of limitations can vary widely depending on which state law is applied. Some states allow as little as only one year to file suit while some others allow up to four years. Some states start the running of the statute of limitations from diagnosis; while others may start it from when you knew or should have known that you had an asbestos related disease. There are also several bankruptcy trust that a claim can be made against. These trust have different time periods in which you must file a claim. For example some of them apply the statute of limitations from the state of exposure, while other trust may allow a fixed period of time from diagnosis. Nonetheless it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible to be able to file all these potential claims on time.
