Filing a Mesothelioma Claim in Washington
Video Transcript
For any cases that involve asbestos exposure or residents of Washington state in almost all cases it is preferable to file the case here in Washington and the reason for that is that Washington has several unique laws and procedures that allow us to pursue claims quickly and against multiple defendants in one case. Washington provided more Jury trials than any jurisdiction in the United States during covid and that is because the judges in Washington state understand that the only way to obtain Fair settlements in cases is for there to be a jury trial date. In Washington, individuals living with mesothelioma can often obtain a Jury trial date that will go forward in 7 or 8 months after filing their case. I’ve practiced in New York, New Jersey, Oregon and many other states and this is a very unique procedure that is available to Washington residents.
