Can I file a mesothelioma claim if I was exposed to asbestos outside of Chester?
Yes, Pennsylvania courts often accept cases where exposure occurred in other states if the defendant does business in Pennsylvania. A local lawyer can help determine the best venue for your claim based on where exposure happened.
