Eligibility
If

Wrongful
Death Suit
The
law also says that if you are a close family member of a person who died
of an asbestos-related disease, you may also have the right to seek compensation
for your loss. This right is called a "wrongful death" suit.
The laws of different states vary as to which family members have the
legal right to recover for the wrongful death of a family member. We can
help decide which state is best for your case, depending upon your individual
situation.
Statute
of Limitations
While
you have the right to sue if you have, or a family member has, an asbestos-related
disease, there is a time frame during which you must file your case. This
statute of limitations varies from state to state, but if you wait too
long, you will be barred from taking legal action. If you are interested
in filing a case, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as
possible.
What does
asbestos have to do with mesothelioma ?
The
only known cause of mesothelioma in the U.S. is previous exposure to asbestos
fibers. Asbestos manufacturers knew about the hazards of asbestos seventy
years ago - but they kept this knowledge to themselves. The first warnings
to workers exposed to asbestos were given in the mid-1960s, and they were
terribly inadequate. Even today, workers are not always told they are
working around asbestos and are at risk for asbestos disease.
