2 years from diagnosis
Source: Revised Statutes § 12-542
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?
Arizona has a 2-year statute of limitations for mesothelioma from diagnosis. Arizona's copper mining industry — particularly open-pit mines in the Tucson and Globe-Miami areas — and military installations at Davis-Monthan AFB and Luke AFB created significant asbestos exposure. Construction of major Phoenix metropolitan infrastructure also involved asbestos materials extensively.
