When a statute of limitations has expired, you are time-barred from filing a case in that jurisdiction. In this circumstance, you may be able to file your case in a jurisdiction that has a longer statute of limitations. The Lanier Law Firm is committed to finding the necessary grounds to move a case to the venue that serves the best interests of our clients. Our law firm was contacted by 21 steelworkers from Alabama who had contracted mesothelioma due to occupational asbestos exposure. The workers were unable to file a claim in Alabama, the state where the exposure occurred because the statute of limitations had already expired. We successfully moved the venue to Texas, where we won a $115 million verdict on behalf of the steelworkers, one of the largest asbestos verdicts in U.S. history.
