Many companies knew the dangers of asbestos exposure as early as the 1930s but failed to warn or protect workers and the public. Filing a lawsuit allows victims and their families to pursue justice, financial support, and accountability from these corporations.
Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro has a long-standing reputation for successfully representing victims of toxic exposure. Our attorneys work to expedite the legal process for clients facing advanced illness and will fight tirelessly for maximum compensation.
Asbestos-related illnesses like mesothelioma can take 10 to 50 years to develop after exposure, but legal deadlines (statutes of limitations) may apply. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, it’s crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim? Each state has its own statute of limitations. In New York, you generally have three years from diagnosis—or two years from the date of death for wrongful death claims.
What if I don’t know where I was exposed to asbestos? Our attorneys work with experts to trace your exposure history through employment, military service, or product usage.
Can family members also file a claim? Yes. Spouses and children may be eligible to file for loss of consortium or pursue a wrongful death lawsuit if their loved one has passed away.
Do I need to pay upfront? No. We handle asbestos cases on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation.
If you or someone you love was exposed to asbestos and developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, contact Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro for a free case evaluation. We’re here to help you understand your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.
