Does Being Exposed To Asbestos Give Me The Right To File A Mesothelioma Lawsuit In Louisiana?

Unfortunately, just being exposed to asbestos is not a viable cause of action for a mesothelioma lawsuit.

You would have to be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, an individual has one year from the date of the diagnosis to file a lawsuit.

In cases where the mesothelioma victim has died, the spouse or other heirs have one year from the date of death from mesothelioma to file a wrongful death lawsuit and pursue other litigation.

Anyone who suspects they have mesothelioma from being exposed to asbestos should consult a physician for proper testing.
