The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "If we heard a news story about US Navy Veterans or US Navy shipyard workers being taken advantage of on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNBC, or Fox News, most US citizens would be outraged.
"Currently the US Congress, and pretty much every State Legislature is being paid off by big business interests to decrease compensation for diagnosed victims of mesothelioma. This especially true for victims of this rare form of cancer that served in the US Navy, or worked at a US Navy shipyard.
"What an incredible insult for any person who served in our nation's armed forces, or as a civilian employee of a defense contractor. It's in your best interest to pursue legal representation that is skilled enough to handle the rigors of mesothelioma compensation against such large companies; this is where we step in an offer a unique free service.
"We are confident that nearly everyone has seen TV commercials talking about mesothelioma compensation. What the commercials fail to mention is that a diagnosed victim of this rare form of cancer has to fight for their compensation. It is for this reason we place such a huge premium on doing everything possible to ensure all diagnosed victims retain the nation's best mesothelioma lawyers, who consistently get the best possible settlements for their clients.
"If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and were exposed to asbestos at a US Navy shipyard, or while serving in the US Navy, please call us at 866-714-6466 for instant access to the nation's top mesothelioma lawyers, treatment options, and everything we can think of to help the victim and family with this rare cancer." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
