Hawaii has one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the country. You only have two years from the date that you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease to file a personal injury lawsuit against the parties legally responsible for your asbestos exposure. If your loved one died from this serious disease, you only have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit based on asbestos exposure. This is a very limited amount of time to assemble a claim that is often based on exposure that happened many years ago. It is important that you quickly retain the services of an experienced mesothelioma lawyer who is accustomed to building a solid case in a limited amount of time. Our attorneys have the skill and knowledge necessary to protect your legal rights.
