The Advocate says, "Most Navy Veterans who had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard and now recently have been diagnosed with lung cancer never get compensated even though the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for people exactly like this. Our number one priority is doing everything possible to alert Navy Veterans who have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer to get compensated if while in the navy prior to 1982 they had heavy exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard.

"If the person we have just described sounds like your husband or dad anywhere in the nation and he served in the navy in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste anytime at 800-714-0303. As mentioned, the financial compensation for a person like this might be significant. Financial compensation for a Navy Veteran who has developed lung cancer is based on how, where and when he was exposed to asbestos in the navy as attorney Erik Karst is always happy to discuss." www.karstvonoiste.com/

The typical of ways a US Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer could have been exposed to asbestos from the US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate:

*While the Veteran was assigned to a shipyard for a retrofit, overhaul, or maintenance and had to stay on board a ship or submarine to assist the shipyard workers with the repairs.

*While assigned to a navy ship's engine room as a boiler technician, as a member of a maintenance crew, or as an electrician, plumber, welder, pipefitter or shipfitter.

*Significant asbestos exposure may have taken place while preparing their ship or submarine for deployment and/or cleaning up their ship post deployment.

*While assigned to a repair crew while their ship or submarine was at sea.

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.
