Can I file a mesothelioma claim if I was exposed to asbestos outside of Clarence?
Yes, you can still file a claim in New York if you were exposed to asbestos elsewhere but now live in Clarence. New York courts often have jurisdiction over out of state asbestos manufacturers if they did business in the state. A lawyer can evaluate where to file your case for the best outcome.
What types of compensation are available for mesothelioma victims in New York?
