The southeast river towns — Lawrenceburg, Aurora, and Madison — sit at the edge of the Cincinnati and Louisville markets, sharing the lower Ohio River’s industry. The Tanners Creek generating station at Lawrenceburg, the distilleries, and the river plants reportedly ran on asbestos-containing insulation and process materials for decades.
Indiana allows two years from a mesothelioma or asbestos-cancer diagnosis to file a personal-injury claim (Ind. Code § 34-11-2-4), and two years from the date of death for a wrongful-death claim (§ 34-23-1-1). Indiana has no statute of repose for asbestos cases — the Indiana Supreme Court struck down the ten-year manufacturing cutoff in Myers v. Crouse-Hinds (2016) — so a claim is not barred by how long ago the exposure occurred. Cases are filed in the county Circuit or Superior Court of proper venue; Indiana has no statewide asbestos MDL.
