Iowa’s statute of limitations gives you only two years from your mesothelioma diagnosis to identify the parties responsible for your asbestos exposure, investigate your claim and file a lawsuit against these parties. This is not a lot of time, especially when you may need to uncover evidence that is between 20 and 50 years old. For these reasons, it is important to work closely with experienced mesothelioma lawyers who are familiar with the industries that are most commonly associated with asbestos exposure and the evidence necessary to prove your claim. We can discuss your options during a free consultation.
