Certain individuals who have contracted Mesothelioma through exposure to asbestos in the workplace may be able to apply for workers' compensaton benefits.
Each state handles workers' compensation claims differently, with different time limits and notification requirements. As a rule of thumb, claims must be filed within two years of the time the employee was exposed to asbestos or when the employee first knew they had a condition or disease cause by the exposure. Additional requirements may exist in certain states.
Since the notification requirements vary and are complicated, anyone considering filing a worker's compensation claim should contact an attorney specializing in workers' compensation as soon as possible.
