1 in 3 U. S. Veterans will be diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease in their lifetime.
It is estimated that more than 25 million veterans were exposed to asbestos during a tour of duty.
Many military veterans diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases are serving in the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines. More than 300 asbestos-containing products were used by the U. S. military during the years 19-30-1980.
One of the most critical decisions for a Mesothelioma patient to consider is whether or not to pursue a lawsuit against negligent asbestos companies that put profits above human life. A Mesothelioma lawsuit can get you financial compensation to take care of your family, pay for expensive Mesothelioma treatment, and compensate you for pain and suffering.
