Missouri Statute of Limitations for Mesothelioma

The statute of limitations for mesothelioma claims in Missouri is 5 years from date of diagnosis. For wrongful death claims, families have 3 years from the time a loved one passes away.

It’s important to consult a mesothelioma lawyer who is experienced with asbestos-related claims following diagnosis. Delaying action could result in the statute of limitations expiring, which would mean you no longer have the right to compensation.

Missouri Asbestos Laws

Missouri has specific regulations in place to manage the risks associated with asbestos for people and the environment. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources monitors demolitions and abatement projects involving asbestos. This is to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also has specific work practice standards for handling asbestos-containing materials. While the removal of some asbestos materials may not be regulated, improper handling can still pose a safety risk.

The Missouri Revisor of Statutes has provisions that include requirements, procedures and standards relating to asbestos projects such as abatement, renovation or demolition projects.

It's important to note that these laws are in place to protect the health and safety of Missouri’s residents and workers. At ELSM Law, our asbestos lawyers are well-versed in these regulations and can help you understand your rights and legal options if you've been exposed to asbestos.
