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?
Rhode Island's small geographic size means residents may face cross-border EtO exposure from Massachusetts facilities including PCS Taunton. Rhode Island's 3-year SOL and its status as a pure comparative fault state are favorable for claimants.
