In Illinois, claimants have two years from the discovery of mesothelioma to file a lawsuit against the negligent parties responsible for asbestos exposure. This is often two years from diagnosis, but it may be two years from when you realize that asbestos exposure was responsible for you developing a medical condition. This limits the amount of time that you have to build a case against manufacturers that may have played a role in your exposure 20 to 50 years ago. Our experienced mesothelioma lawyers can investigate your claim and review your legal options.
