Anyone who was harmed by exposure to asbestos and the family members of those who have died from asbestos-related diseases are eligible to bring action against those responsible for asbestos exposure. But timing is critical! In states like Kentucky, the statute of limitations is only one year from diagnosis, so you’ll need to move quickly.

Are you eligible to file a mesothelioma lawsuit on your own behalf or on behalf of a loved one? If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, the answer is yes – but identifying how and when you were exposed to asbestos can be challenging. Symptoms can often take 20 to 50 years to develop, so many of our clients were never even aware of their exposure until their diagnosis.

There are two ways a person can be exposed to asbestos: on the job and not on the job.

Kentucky Focused: Unlike large national firms, we specialize exclusively in Kentucky and surrounding areas. We understand the local industries, potential exposure sites, and Kentucky legal nuances critical to maximizing your compensation.

Proven Track Record: For over 20 years, we've helped Kentucky residents like you secure tens of millions in compensation from asbestos-related illnesses. Our dedication to Kentucky mesothelioma victims speaks volumes.

Big Firm Expertise, Local Advantage: National firms often rely on local firms like ours to handle the legwork of Kentucky cases. You benefit from our local knowledge while getting the experience of a seasoned attorney.

On-the-Job Asbestos Exposure

On-the-job exposure is the most common type of asbestos exposure. There are certain jobs that have a high risk of exposure, including:

Not On-the-Job Asbestos Exposure

Not on-the-job exposure to asbestos is not as common as on-the-job exposure, but it does happen. Individuals who live near asbestos mines, asbestos plants, or in an area where asbestos naturally occurs may have inhaled or swallowed asbestos particles. Additionally, family members of individuals who work in the above-mentioned industries may be exposed to asbestos brought into the home on clothing, hair, or skin.

Filing a claim is easier than you think and it takes as little as five minutes on the phone.

Secure Submission

We understand a mesothelioma diagnosis is overwhelming. That's why we offer a free, confidential case evaluation within 24 hours, with the option for an in-home consultation at your convenience. There's no pressure and absolutely no obligation.
