Mesothelioma claims in Alabama must be filed within 2 years of diagnosis under Ala. Code § 6-2-30. Alabama’s contributory negligence rule can bar recovery if a claimant’s own conduct contributed to asbestos exposure, making employer knowledge and workplace safety records essential to establishing sole defendant liability. Mesothelioma’s 20 to 50 year latency period means asbestos bankruptcy trust claims are often available alongside civil litigation, and Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys represents mesothelioma victims across Alabama.

An exposure-related medical diagnosis raises urgent questions. Start here for what you need to know about mesothelioma claims and your options.
You want to work with a firm that has experience with these types of cases, like Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys. We know how complicated a mesothelioma claim can be, and our team has the expertise and resources to handle them. We work hard to make you feel comfortable every step of the way, and won’t stop fighting until you get the settlement you deserve.
Talking to our attorneys is the best first step. We will review your work history and medical records, as well as details about your asbestos exposure, to make sure you have a claim. There are a few factors, like the type of asbestos, the duration of exposure, and the health impacts, that will play into your eligibility. We’ll help document everything to build a strong case and get you the settlement you need.
Yes! Our attorneys have the resources and expertise to do in-depth research on your employment history and identify the sources of your asbestos exposure, even if it was decades ago. We’ll document the when, where, and how of your asbestos exposure to build a strong case and get you every dollar you deserve.
Great question. The specific symptoms you’ve experienced, as well as when they started and how they’ve progressed, will be used as evidence in your claim. Our attorneys will use this medical information to show the severity of your condition and connect it directly to your asbestos exposure.
Short answer? It depends. Long answer? The deadline (also known as the statute of limitations) for filing a mesothelioma lawsuit varies by state. Typically, it’s 1-4 years from the time of diagnosis. Building a strong case takes time, so the sooner you call us, the better. Our attorneys will advise you on the specific deadlines and make sure all documents are filed on time.
Yes, you may still have grounds for a lawsuit even if your mesothelioma diagnosis came many years after your initial asbestos exposure. These diseases can take 20-50 years to fully impact your health, and the law recognizes that. This allows claims to be filed after the diagnosis, no matter when you were exposed
It depends on the details of the claim, but yes, the surviving family members may be able to continue the lawsuit, receiving compensation for wrongful death. Our attorneys will help guide loved ones through this process and make sure the victim understands those legal options while they’re still alive.
Most respected law firms, like Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, work on what’s called a “contingency fee basis”. This means we only get paid if we win your case. We believe everyone deserves access to quality legal representation without having to worry about cost.
