Filing Deadlines in Alabama
Alabama law sets strict time limits for filing mesothelioma claims. These deadlines begin when you receive a diagnosis—not when exposure occurred.
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation. Even with longer deadlines, starting early gives your legal team time to gather evidence and build a strong case.
