When Is The Right Time To File A Mesothelioma Lawsuit In New Orleans?

Because of Louisiana’s statute of limitations on mesothelioma lawsuits, it’s important that you don’t wait too long to contact an experienced mesothelioma lawyer in New Orleans after diagnosis.

In general, you have one year to initiate legal action in a mesothelioma case, and your lawyer will need some time to investigate the matter and establish that the case can go forward.

It’s best to reach out as soon as possible after diagnosis to begin the process of determining facts, like the dates and places from your work history, where likely exposure occurred, what strategies are best to obtain the appropriate award or awards, and which jurisdictions are most likely to yield the best result for your case.

The Gertler Law Firm has decades of experience representing families injured by businesses who failed to disclose to employees the high risk of working with asbestos, and refused to take steps to protect them until the government ordered them to in the 1970s.

By then, it was well known in the industry that asbestos-intensive jobs could lead to devastating illnesses, even among the family members of those who worked in those roles.
