Filing a Mesothelioma Claim for a Loved One: When Family Members Can Take Action

A family can pursue a claim if an individual is either too sick to file a lawsuit or if they have even passed away from their asbestos disease. There’s what’s called a statute of limitations that is in place in each different state and you have to file within that period of time. But a spouse or children or other family members can bring a claim on behalf of an individual who has asbestos disease even if that person may have passed away or is unable to bring the claim themselves. If you have been diagnosed or a loved one has been diagnosed with asbestos disease, even if they have passed away and a family member such as a child or spouse still would like to seek a claim on their behalf, Oslund Udo Little can file those claims for you.
