Mesothelioma Lawyer Indiana: Asbestos Attorney Guide for Allison Transmission Workers

FORMER EMPLOYEES, TRADESPEOPLE, AND FAMILIES: ACT NOW IF DIAGNOSED

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Indiana’s statute of limitations for asbestos disease claims is 2 years from the date of diagnosis under Ind. Code § 34-20-3-1. That clock starts running the day you receive your diagnosis — not when you first felt symptoms, not when you started treatment. Miss the deadline, and your claim is extinguished regardless of how strong the evidence is.

If you’ve been diagnosed and have a work history at Allison Transmission Indianapolis, you need to speak with a Indiana asbestos attorney now. Every week of delay is a week off that five-year window.

What Compensation May Be Available

Indiana asbestos victims and their families may be entitled to pursue multiple forms of compensation:

Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust Claims

Dozens of asbestos product manufacturers — including Johns-Manville, Owens Corning, Owens-Illinois, W.R. Grace, Combustion Engineering, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Celotex, Garlock, and Raybestos — filed for bankruptcy after facing massive asbestos liability. Federal bankruptcy courts required each company to establish a trust fund to compensate future claimants before reorganization was approved. Billions of dollars remain available in these trusts today. Filing a trust claim does not require going to court and can often be resolved relatively quickly with proper documentation.

Civil Lawsuit Against Solvent Defendants

Companies that remain solvent — and that manufactured or distributed asbestos-containing materials allegedly present at Allison Transmission — may be sued directly in Indiana or Indiana court. Civil litigation can produce jury verdicts and settlements that substantially exceed trust fund recoveries. Indiana courts have historically been receptive to asbestos plaintiffs
