Mesothelioma Lawyer in El Paso TX — Asbestos Victims Deserve Compensation

Mesothelioma typically develops 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure, which is why many victims are now being diagnosed even though they were exposed decades ago. The most common occupations associated with asbestos exposure include construction workers, insulation installers, shipyard workers, auto mechanics (brake pads), military veterans (especially Navy), and workers in manufacturing facilities. Family members of asbestos workers can also develop mesothelioma through secondary exposure from contaminated clothing. If mesothelioma has caused a death, the family may have a wrongful death claim.

Many asbestos manufacturers have filed for bankruptcy and established trust funds to compensate victims. These trusts hold billions of dollars specifically for mesothelioma and other asbestos disease victims. Karl Luth can file claims with multiple asbestos trusts on your behalf, often recovering significant compensation without going to trial. In addition to trust fund claims, lawsuits against surviving asbestos companies and employers may be available.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for mesothelioma claims is generally two years from the date of diagnosis (not the date of exposure). Given the long latency period of mesothelioma, this means many victims can still file claims even if they were exposed decades ago.
