Mesothelioma Victims Center Launches New Campaign Designed to Ensure All Diagnosed US Navy Veterans and Shipyard Worker Get to The Front of The Line When it Comes To Compensation

The last thing the Mesothelioma Victims Center wants to see happen to US Navy Veterans or shipyard workers with mesothelioma is for them to get stuck in the back of the line when it comes to compensation for this rare form of cancer.



Many US Navy Veterans who will be diagnosed with mesothelioma this year also received what we refer to as 'super exposure' to asbestos at a US Navy Shipyard

    WASHINGTON, DC, December 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are passionate about providing all US Navy Veterans and shipyard workers who have recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma information on how to get to the front of the line when it comes to the best possible compensation for this rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. We are equally as passionate about making certain these individuals have the nation's top mesothelioma lawyers in their corner, because without them a Veteran or shipyard worker with this cancer will not get the best compensation.

"If you are a US Navy Veteran or a shipyard worker who has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma, or this is a family member, please call us at 866-714-6466 so we can make some extremely good suggestions about the nation's top mesothelioma lawyers who excel at making sure people like you get the best possible compensation. Don't accept anything but the best and don't ever shortchange yourself." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The Mesothelioma Victims Center also now lists the nation's top medical facilities for the treatment of mesothelioma; this information is constantly being updated and refined. The Center is urging all diagnosed US Navy Veterans with mesothelioma to avoid the VA medical system and to get their treatment at one of the healthcare centers they have listed. For more information, US Navy Veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma or their family members are urged to contact the center anytime at 866-714-6466, or visit their website and push the treatment options tab.

The group says, "Many US Navy Veterans who will be diagnosed with mesothelioma this year also received what we refer to as 'super exposure' to asbestos at a US Navy Shipyard. We have attached information that names all current and former US Navy Shipyards where this asbestos exposure could have taken place. US Navy Veterans make up the largest single group of US citizens who are diagnosed with mesothelioma." http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/3public.htm.

The average age for a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma is 72 years old. Frequently victims of mesothelioma are initially misdiagnosed with pneumonia. This year between 2500, and 3000 US citizens will be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is attributable to exposure to asbestos.

According to the CDC the states indicated with the highest incidence of mesothelioma include Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Louisiana, Washington, and Oregon.

However, based on the calls the Mesothelioma Victims Center receives a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma could live in any state including New York, Florida, California, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, or Alaska.

High risk work groups for exposure to asbestos include US Navy Veterans, power plant workers, shipyard workers, oil refinery workers, steel mill workers, manufacturing, or industrial workers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, machinists, miners, or construction workers. Typically the exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, or 1980's. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Before you hire a law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim please call us anytime at 866-714-6466, or e-mail us and compare the qualifications of who we consider to be the nation's most skilled mesothelioma attorneys to any other lawyer, or law firm.

"When it comes to obtaining the best mesothelioma settlement, the quality of the attorney matters, as we would like to explain." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
