State Government Resources for Asbestos

Several North Carolina governmental agencies can assist individuals concerned about asbestos exposure.

The North Carolina Department of Labor

The North Carolina Department of Labor provides information about asbestos, including the hazards of working with the substance and how employers and employees can protect themselves from harm. The Department of Labor has several instructional webinars available for training purposes. The agency also cites specific regulations for employers whose workers must handle asbestos.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services offers a wide breadth of materials for individuals and employers who want to limit asbestos exposure. Website visitors can view instructions for demolishing or rehabilitating sites containing asbestos and read county and state-specific rules.

The North Carolina Department of Insurance

The North Carolina Department of Insurance identifies rules concerning demolishing or renovating a property suspected of containing asbestos. All employers, contractors, and property owners must comply with the restrictions. It’s essential to obtain a permit from the local city or country before beginning a project.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for North Carolina Mesothelioma Claims?

In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim for mesothelioma is three years. Typically, the statute of limitations period begins on the date of diagnosis for asbestos-related disease. Thus, even if your asbestos exposure occurred decades ago, you can still file a claim if you received a diagnosis within the past three years.

It’s essential to start the asbestos litigation process quickly. Remember that your North Carolina mesothelioma attorney will need time to establish a case strategy and assemble evidence for your claim.
