Is There a Statute of Limitations on Mesothelioma Claims?

Understanding The Time Constraints of Mesothelioma Claims

Each state in the U.S. has its own set of rules regarding statute of limitations laws. Knowing the time constraints in your state can help ensure that filing deadlines for a mesothelioma claim (also referred to as asbestos claims) are not missed. Here are some basics you should know about the statute of limitations and asbestos claims.

How Do Statute of Limitations Laws Work?

Mesothelioma claims can fall under the umbrella of personal injury suits or wrongful death suits. While each state has different timelines for filing a mesothelioma claim, every statute of limitations begins with the following:

• Personal injury claims - starts on the date of diagnosis
• Wrongful death claims - starts on the deceased date of death

Claims may also be pursued through mesothelioma trust funds.

What If I Moved After Being Exposed to Asbestos?

If you live and work in the same state in which you were exposed to asbestos and diagnosed, then you would file your claim within the statute of limitations in your current state.

However, if you currently live outside of the state where your exposure occurred, your statute of limitations may be determined by:

• Where most of your exposure occurred or;
• By where you lived when you were first diagnosed with mesothelioma
