Tacoma Mesothelioma Lawyer

Tens of thousands of hard-working employees and veterans were exposed to asbestos. In fact, Washington has one of the highest rates of asbestos exposure in the country. For years, manufacturers were aware of the potential harm, but chose to put profits over people. Fortunately, these companies were held liable and billions of dollars have been set aside in trust funds for victims.

Are you one of these victims? Or, maybe you’ve been diagnosed with another illness tied to asbestos exposure. If so, our personal injury attorneys are here to help. Contact a Tacoma mesothelioma lawyer today to get started.

How do I File a Mesothelioma Claim in Tacoma?

In a typical personal injury lawsuit, we tell victims that we must prove the other party’s negligence caused your injury. What makes mesothelioma claims different is that the negligence has already been proven. Funds have already been set aside.

This means that in most cases, we don’t even have to file a lawsuit. When you reach out to our Tacoma attorneys, we’ll help collect your information and work to get your settlement as soon as possible. We understand that a diagnosis of mesothelioma means that time is of the essence. Our goal is to have you focus on your health and your family. Let us handle the legal and financial stressors.

How Long do I Have to File a Mesothelioma Claim?

As you likely already know, mesothelioma has a long latency period. That means that it can be decades between exposure and symptoms. Given this, the statute of limitations is three years from the time of diagnosis, not exposure.

Even so, three years is not a lot of time to file a claim. We’ve seen people excluded from settlements because they missed this deadline. We don’t want this to happen to you. Please call us to start your claim.
