Texas US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Appeals to a Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer in Texas to Call Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste About Compensation-If He Had Navy Asbestos Exposure

    HOUSTON, TX, July 01, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Texas US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate is appealing to a Navy Veteran with recently diagnosed lung cancer anywhere in Texas to please call attorney Erik Karst of the Texas based law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if while in the navy they had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. Financial compensation for person like this might exceed one hundred thousand dollars. For a career Navy Veteran who had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy-and who now has lung cancer the compensation might be hundreds of thousands of dollars-as attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss. www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Advocate says, "Most Navy Veterans or people who develop lung cancer-and who had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work prior to 1982 are not aware the $30 billion dollar- asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. The typical person we are trying to identify is over 60 years old-and it does not matter if they smoked cigarettes. If the person we have just described sounds like your husband or dad-and his lung cancer diagnosis is recent-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303." www.karstvonoiste.com/

High-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos in Texas include Veterans of the US Navy, a civilian employee at Ford Hood, Fort Bliss or Lakeland Air Force Base, a power plant worker at one of Texas's dozens of nuclear or conventional power plants, a oil refinery worker at one of Texas's numerous oil refineries, oil rig workers, chemical plant workers, shipyard workers, factory workers, public utility workers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, welders, millwrights, insulators, machinists, and construction workers. Typically, the exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, or 1980's. www.karstvonoiste.com/

The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "If your husband, dad, coworker or neighbor has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and you know they had significant exposure to asbestos in the navy, at a shipyard or while working at a factory, at power plant, public utility, or as a plumber, electrician welder, mechanic or any kind of skilled trades group in any state please have them call us anytime at 800-714-0303. Most people like this never get compensated-even though the asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. We are trying to change this sad fact." 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. www.karstvonoiste.com/
