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?
Nevada has a 2-year statute of limitations for mesothelioma from diagnosis. Nevada's mining industry — gold, silver, copper, and uranium — along with Las Vegas casino construction in the mid-20th century (when asbestos was used in high-rise fireproofing), created occupational asbestos exposure. Nevada uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar.
