Deadlines, also known as statutes of limitations, for bringing asbestos lawsuits vary widely from state to state. Sometimes the deadline is calculated from the date of exposure and sometimes from the date of disease development. Some states have even enacted laws to revive expired asbestos claims or to make exceptions for asbestosis. Some states calculate a new deadline if you develop a second asbestos disease.
