Mesothelioma claims can take some time to complete. Typically, exposure to asbestos will have occurred in the 1960s or 70s, so there are inherent complexities with going so far back. We have completed some claims in 3 months, but a typical claim should take 6 or 7 months to complete. The time frame may also depend on how poorly the person claiming is, especially if the settlement will be greater if completed while still alive.
