Hello,
In 1985 my husband died of acute myloid leaukaemia which was found to be caused by benzene poisening - working as a paint sprayer - In the same year of his death we sought to claim compensation after his union told us that Benzene was used in the paint, I was given a solicitor by the union but despite trying to finalise this over the years met with no result.
Now 23 years after his death and with all the media attention of Asbestos victims claiming compensation many years after the event I am seeking to pursue the matter as obviously its a very painful subject.
However I am aware of a time limitation specified under the statute of limitations on wrongful deaths of 3 years may apply.
Please can someone clarify whether this is the case?
I am from the UK.
Thank you!

In California, the Statute of Limitations runs from the date that you were aware of the injury, or the date you became aware of the cause of the injury.
UK law may be different. I suggest that you speak to a solicitor who specializes in personal injury law. Or post the question here on yahoo answers, but specify UK laws in the first line.
Wish I could have been of more help.
