Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for mesothelioma claims in New York?
In New York, you generally have three years from the date of diagnosis to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the deadline is two years from the date of death. These time limits are strict, so it is important to act promptly.
Can I file a mesothelioma lawsuit if I was exposed to asbestos outside of New York?
Yes, you may still file a claim in New York if you live in Bellmore or were exposed while working for a company based in New York. New York courts often have jurisdiction over out-of-state exposures if the defendant does business in the state.
