Time limitations exist for filing a claim. The clock starts ticking from the date you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related cancer. The earlier you decide to pursue a claim, the better chance you have of getting your claim filed within the deadline. If you miss the window for filing a claim, you will no longer be entitled to sue for damages, and there will be no case or opportunity to recover compensation. If a loved one has died from mesothelioma, there are also time limitations for the surviving family to file a wrongful death claim.
