Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in Medford New York?
Under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 214, you have three years from the date of diagnosis to file a personal injury claim. For wrongful death claims, the limit is two years from the date of death. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation.
Can I file a mesothelioma claim if I was exposed to asbestos outside of New York?
Yes, you may still file a claim in New York if you live in Medford or were exposed while working in the state. New York courts often accept cases where the defendant does business in New York or where exposure occurred in the state.
What types of compensation are available in a New York mesothelioma case?
Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and funeral costs. New York also allows punitive damages in cases of gross negligence by asbestos companies. Some cases also involve trust fund claims from bankrupt asbestos manufacturers.
