Where We File Mesothelioma Cases

Frequently when we’re contacted about a potential mesothelioma case we’re asked, where will the lawsuit be filed if one is filed? The law across the country dictates where lawsuits can be filed. After we have done a thorough investigation of the client’s exposure history, all the different ways and places in which the person was exposed to asbestos, then we try to make the best choice for the client. And that usually is either in the state where one of the responsible parties is headquartered or lives or where the exposure to the asbestos occurred, but the bottom line is, that decision is made in conjunction with the client and is frequently dictated because of the laws of venue and jurisdiction on things such as where the defendant is located or where the exposure occurred.
