Understanding Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure in Florida
According to the CDC, in 2020, Florida diagnosed 222 cases of mesothelioma and recorded 187 deaths from it. This places Florida second nationwide in both new cases and fatalities. If you receive a mesothelioma diagnosis, this means you were exposed to asbestos at some point in your life.
How Was I Exposed to Asbestos in Florida?
Florida is among the few states with no naturally occurring asbestos, so all exposure happens through manufactured products brought into the state. Mesothelioma could develop at work, through products, or at home through secondary exposure.

What if I Was Exposed to Asbestos in a Different State?
If you were exposed to asbestos in another state before moving to Florida, like many retirees and seniors, you still have legal options. Mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases can take decades to develop, so it is common for people to be diagnosed long after their initial exposure, often in a different state from where they now live.
The Gori Law Firm has nationwide experience handling these complex cases. Our attorneys can trace your exposure history, whether it occurred in shipyards, factories, military bases, construction sites, or other workplaces, and pursue compensation in the applicable state or through asbestos trust funds.
What Compensation Options Are Available for My Orlando, Florida Mesothelioma Claim?
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, you might qualify for compensation. The amount of compensation you can expect to receive depends on several factors, including the type of claim you pursue.
Mesothelioma Lawsuits
Mesothelioma lawsuits are filed in court against companies responsible for your asbestos exposure, seeking damages for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Many companies that faced asbestos liabilities set up trust funds to compensate victims. A trust fund claim lets you file a claim for compensation from these damages without suing in court.
VA Disability Claims
If you are a veteran who was exposed to asbestos during military service, you may be eligible for VA disability benefits for mesothelioma or related diseases.
Mesothelioma Wrongful Death Lawsuits
When someone dies from mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease, their family may file a wrongful death lawsuit against responsible parties to recover damages for loss of companionship, funeral costs, and more.
Our Orlando, Florida, Asbestos Attorneys Answer Your Most Common Questions About Mesothelioma Lawsuits
What Do I Do if I Was Diagnosed With Mesothelioma, but I Am Unsure of Where My Asbestos Exposure Came From?
If you are unsure of the origins of your exposure, an experienced lawyer can help investigate your work history and environment to identify potential sources.
How Can I File an Asbestos Exposure Lawsuit?
To file a lawsuit, you can start by contacting an asbestos attorney who will review your case, gather evidence, and file a legal claim against the responsible party on your behalf.
Why Should I File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit?
Filing a lawsuit can help you secure compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by asbestos exposure, holding negligent companies accountable for their role in your illness.
How Long Do I Have To File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in Florida?
Florida sets different deadlines to file a lawsuit, depending on the claim. For example, most negligence claims must be filed within two years, product-liability injury claims within four years, and wrongful death within two years. In asbestos cases, the clock usually starts when the disease is discovered or should reasonably have been discovered. Deadlines can be affected by the facts of your case, so talk to a lawyer promptly.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Mesothelioma Attorney in Orlando, Florida?
Hiring a mesothelioma attorney in Orlando typically costs nothing up front. Most firms, including The Gori Law Firm, work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case.
What Should I Look for When Choosing a Mesothelioma Lawyer in Orlando?
When selecting a lawyer in Orlando, prioritize experience with asbestos litigation, a track record of successful outcomes, and a client-centered approach. It is also vital to ensure they offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis.
What Should I Do if I Was Exposed to Asbestos?
If you suspect asbestos exposure, consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation and monitoring. If it is confirmed that you have been exposed to the toxic substance, call an attorney to discuss your legal options.
Can I Sue for Asbestos Exposure Before Getting Sick?
While you can file a lawsuit for asbestos exposure even if you have not developed an illness, legal claims are based on evidence, which usually means an official diagnosis. That said, some states allow for asbestos trust fund claims to compensate victims before symptoms appear.
Who Can File a Mesothelioma Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In Florida, a personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuit. This individual is typically named in the decedent’s will or appointed by the court.
