A mesothelioma claim does not end when the person diagnosed dies. Depending on the state, a spouse, child or the estate may be able to bring or continue a claim, and the deadlines for doing so differ from the ones that applied during the person’s lifetime. These articles follow wrongful death and estate cases and the rulings that shape them.
For the background rather than the case coverage, see speaking with a mesothelioma lawyer. Deadlines to file differ by state — check the filing deadline for your state.
