The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Around half of the individuals we talk with are Veterans of the US Navy with mesothelioma, and because of this we are making certain these types of individuals and/or their family members have instant access to the nation's leading mesothelioma compensation lawyers that consistently get the best compensation results for their clients.
"Typically these US Navy Veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma have one of three things in common:
- The US Navy Veteran worked in the engine room of a US Navy ship.
- The US Navy Veteran was left on board a US Navy ship during a shipyard overhaul where there was extreme asbestos exposure (most likely occurring in shipyards located in Virginia, Washington, California, Maine, Connecticut, Maryland, Florida, Louisiana, or Pennsylvania).
- The US Navy Veteran was assigned to maintenance operations on a US Navy ship, or at a US Navy base."
The Mesothelioma Victims Center wants to emphasize they are convinced most US Navy Veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma get financially shortchanged because they, or their family members, chose the wrong lawyer or law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim.
This new initiative is 100% focused on doing everything possible for any US Navy Veteran with this rare form of cancer and/or their family, which includes providing instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation lawyers. This is an unsurpassed service.
For more information, all diagnosed victims of mesothelioma are urged to contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com.
