If you or someone you know has Beryllium Poisoning, you owe it to yourself to make sure that your rights are protected. Your rights vary depending on many factors such as your residence, where you were exposed to Beryllium, and the location of the responsible companies that exposed you to Beryllium. Each state has its own laws and governs the law differently. Each state also has its own deadlines for allowing victims of Beryllium related diseases to file lawsuits, called statutes of limitation and statutes of repose.

Your first concern is to file within the statutory deadlines.
Wrongful Death Suit
If you are the executor of the estate of a person who has died from a Beryllium-related disease, you may be eligible to file a claim but the claim must be within a short time of death.
Because of the statute of limitation issues, you should contact our specialists as soon as possible regarding your eligibility.
The law also says that if you are a close family member of a person who died of a Beryllium related disease, you may also have the right to seek compensation for your loss. This right is called a "wrongful death" suit. The laws of different states vary as to which family members have the legal right to recover for the wrongful death of a family member. We can help decide which state is best for your case, depending upon your individual situation.
Statute of Limitations
While you have the right to sue if you have, or a family member has for a Beryllium-related disease, there is a time frame during which you must file your case. This statute of limitations varies from state to state, but if you wait too long, you will be barred from taking legal action. If you are interested in filing a case, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible.
