What is the deadline in Utah?
Utah Code § 78B-2-307 provides a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Utah courts apply the discovery rule for latent asbestos diseases from date of mesothelioma diagnosis. Utah uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. 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?
Utah has a 2-year statute of limitations for mesothelioma from diagnosis. Utah's copper and uranium mining (Kennecott Copper Mine — the world's largest open-pit copper mine, Moab uranium processing), steel production at Geneva Steel (Provo), and construction of Utah's significant federal infrastructure created occupational asbestos exposure.
