Re: have been sick for 10 years

Ordinarily there is a 2-4 year statute of limitations in most states for filing a lawsuit for personal injuries. The time would run from the date you first knew that you had medical problems related to an exposure to harmful chemicals. If it has been 10 years since you were last exposed and first had problems it may be too late. I suggest you contact a personal injury lawyer in your area for a consult. Most PI lawyers work on a contingency fee basis and do not charge for an intitial consultation.
