Frequently Asked Questions About Class Actions, Mesothelioma Claims, and Asbestos Claims
Personal injury claims, especially class actions and asbestos-related cases, are complicated. Here are the answers to a few of the most common questions we receive about these cases:
Every state has its own deadlines for filing personal injury claims, known as the statute of limitations. In Florida, for instance, the statute of limitations for negligence-based lawsuits allows the injured party two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
However, given the complexities and potential exceptions in these asbestos cases, consulting an attorney is crucial to understanding the specific timelines for your case.
Potential compensation in a personal injury claim varies based on the case’s specifics. That said, some losses for which you can seek compensation include:
- Medical expenses, both current and future
- Lost wages and diminished earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence
