Probably no other hazardous substance has resulted in so many deaths and cases of disabling diseases as has asbestos, the collective term for a group of six minerals considered an indestructible material with powerful peace- and wartime applications. There are certain time limits, known as statutes of limitations, during which asbestos claims can be filed. In other words, once you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you only have a limited amount of time in which to file an asbestos claim. For this reason, it is crucial that you promptly contact an experienced attorney specializing in asbestos cases.
