Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that only develops from exposure to asbestos. It affects the thin membrane that lines the spaces in the body where the internal organs are located, known as the mesothelium. • Personal Injury Lawsuits: A person that developed Mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos is able to file a personal injury claim within four years of their diagnosis. • Wrongful Death Claims: The family of a person who died from it can file a wrongful death lawsuit against those who are responsible for the person’s exposure to it. There is a time limit on how long the family has to file the lawsuit so it is important to speak with a knowledgeable lawyer shortly after your loved one passes.
