URGENT: Kentucky's 1-Year Mesothelioma Deadline in Louisville
Louisville mesothelioma victims have only 12 months from diagnosis to file a lawsuit — the most urgent legal deadline of any major U.S. city. With chemotherapy, surgery consultations, and family affairs dominating the first weeks after diagnosis, it is dangerously easy to let this deadline slip. Contact an asbestos attorney within the first week of diagnosis. Louisville's industrial base includes Ford Motor Company's Louisville Assembly Plant and Kentucky Truck Plant, where decades of brake work and maintenance exposed auto workers to asbestos. The Ohio River chemical corridor — Rohm and Haas, Dow Chemical, and other chemical manufacturers operated plants in the Louisville area — created pipe insulation exposure for maintenance pipefitters. Louisville's bourbon distillery industry used asbestos pipe insulation on steam systems in distillery operations.
