A US Navy Veteran Who Has Lung Cancer May Qualify For $100,000+ Compensation If They Had Navy Asbestos Exposure and The Advocate Suggests Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste to Get the Job Done
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate, "We are appealing to the family of a Navy Veteran who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer in any state to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste anytime at 800-714-0303-if before 1982 the Veteran had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a navy shipyard. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the claim does not involve suing the navy. It does not matter if the Navy Veteran smoked cigarettes.
"What does matter is the Navy Veteran who has recently diagnosed lung cancer can recall some of the specifics of how they were exposed to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a navy shipyard. It is this vital information that becomes the foundation for a compensation claim. We need to also mention again that the asbestos exposure needs to have occurred before 1982 to qualify for compensation. Most people who develop lung cancer and who prior to 1982 had significant exposure to asbestos do not realize that the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too as attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss at 800-714-0303." www.karstvonoiste.com/
The Advocate's outreach for people who have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and who prior to 1982 had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos is not just limited to Navy Veterans. The group is always happy to assist a person with lung cancer in any state with potential compensation if prior to 1982 they had significant exposure to asbestos at work. https://USNavyLungCancer.Com
High-risk workplaces for asbestos exposure include the US Navy, shipyards, power plants, public utilities, manufacturing factories, chemical plants, oil refineries, mines, smelters, pulp and paper mills, aerospace manufacturing facilities, offshore oil rigs, demolition construction work sites, railroads, automotive manufacturing facilities, or auto brake shops. With lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure the lung cancer may not show up until decades after the exposure. https://USNavyLungCancer.Com
According to the American Cancer Society for nonsmokers who have been exposed to asbestos in their workplace the risk of lung cancer is five times that of unexposed workers. https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/index.htm.
States with the highest incidence of lung cancer include Kentucky, West Virginia, Maine, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Alabama, and Delaware.
However, a US Navy Veteran or person with mesothelioma or asbestos exposure lung cancer could live in any state including New York, Florida, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Washington, Oregon or Alaska. www.karstvonoiste.com/
