Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Iowa and Illinois
Asbestos was widely used throughout the 20th century in a range of industrial and commercial products for its durability and heat resistance. Yet, this natural mineral is linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
Mesothelioma develops slowly, and symptoms may not appear for 10 to 50 years after exposure.
Facing a diagnosis can be overwhelming, especially with the added strain of medical bills and lost income. Our team may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf.

Ways Our Asbestos Lawyers Can Help Clients in Iowa and Illinois
Our mesothelioma lawyers can help clients in the Quad Cities and Davenport, Iowa area pursue compensation through personal injury lawsuits, wrongful death lawsuits, and trust fund claims. Here’s what that entails.
Personal Injury Lawsuits
Living mesothelioma patients may file a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation from the corporations and entities responsible for their injuries. Compensation can help cover treatment costs, lost wages, and lost future income.
Trust Fund Claims
Asbestos companies that declare bankruptcy due to alleged asbestos liabilities are required to establish mesothelioma or asbestos trust funds under Chapter 11. These trusts cover present and future asbestos-related claims, thereby protecting mesothelioma victims who deserve compensation.
Wrongful Death Lawsuits
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed when a family member seeks compensation for both the damages inflicted upon the mesothelioma patient before death and the loss of a cherished loved one. Wrongful death payouts can help cover end-of-life costs, lost income, and medical expenses.
In most cases, the asbestos bankruptcy claim process serves as a supplement to the civil lawsuits discussed above.
Deadline to File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit In Iowa or Illinois
Statutes of limitations set the time limit for filing a mesothelioma lawsuit. In Iowa and Illinois, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is two years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one.
