Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit Service
A family member has died from an asbestos illness. Is it too late to file a wrongful death lawsuit? The asbestos death of a loved one is a very difficult experience. The family is left not only with the shock and grief of the loss of a loved one, but also possibly with concern for the financial security of a surviving spouse or other dependent family members, as well as a desire for justice against the asbestos industry.
Whether or not it is too late to file a wrongful death lawsuit depends on many things, including but not limited to date of death, and statutes (legal deadlines) governing the state where your loved one died and/or was exposed to asbestos. These statutes vary from state to state.
Moreover, in some wrongful death cases, although the statute for filing a lawsuit has passed, deadlines for submitting claims to certain asbestos company Trusts may not yet have run out.
We can help you sort this all out and give you our opinion as to optimizing your economic recoveries. With over 35 years of experience in assisting families in the aftermath of an asbestos death, our staff members know how to work within your family`s timetable with sensitivity and respect, so that your time is not unnecessarily taken up with legal matters, but freed up for family priorities.
The family may also qualify for other claims such as workers compensation death benefits, VA benefits for surviving spouses and dependent children and FECA benefits for surviving spouses and dependent children. We do not handle such claims but as your attorneys we can help point you in the right direction.
