Texas Mesothelioma Lawyers

 

In addition to mesothelioma lawsuits, individuals may be eligible for other types of claims. Other claim options include an asbestos trust fund claim or veterans benefits claim. Before filing any type of claim, individuals should speak with an experienced asbestos attorney to understand all of their legal options.

The statutes of limitations in the state you now live may not be applicable to your case. An experienced mesothelioma attorney can determine the best state in which to file your case and what the deadline to file will be.

02. Texas Mesothelioma Law Firms
Mesothelioma Law Firms in Texas
Texas residents and workers impacted by mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases can seek legal support from various law firms in the state. National mesothelioma law firms, such as Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney and Meisenkothen, can help ensure Texas claimants get the compensation they deserve.

Due to Texas laws for asbestos litigation, many residents file their mesothelioma claims in other states to ensure maximum compensation. For instance, according to the KCIC Industry Report, Texas residents accounted for 8.5% of all asbestos claims filed in Illinois in 2019. Claimants are not limited to filing in their state of residence. Filing location may also include the defendant’s location, previous residences or previous work locations.

An attorney experienced in asbestos litigation and Texas laws can help claimants understand their claim options and where they can file a claim. The lawyer can also file the claim on the individual’s behalf.

Texas, for example, is one of the states where it is not advantageous to file a mesothelioma claim as Texas courts are known to favor asbestos defendants over mesothelioma plaintiffs. It is generally recommended that Texas mesothelioma claims be filed out-of-state for this reason.
