01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Arkansas?
Arkansas Code Annotated § 16-56-105 provides a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Arkansas courts apply the discovery rule, so the 3-year period begins at mesothelioma diagnosis. The longer SOL gives Arkansas mesothelioma families somewhat more time to organize legal claims. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for mesothelioma from diagnosis — one of the more generous windows. Arkansas's natural resource industries including bauxite mining, paper mills, and chemical manufacturing along the Arkansas River created significant historical asbestos exposure for industrial workers.
