The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "If a shipyard worker or a US Navy Veteran has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, we are urging them to call us at 866-714-6466 so we can carefully explain how incredibly vital it is to have a specialist mesothelioma compensation lawyer involved in advancing their financial claim that could easily exceed a million dollars.
"Our passion is to make certain all diagnosed victims of mesothelioma in the United States get the best compensation, and as we would like to explain there is a correlation between the nation's best mesothelioma attorneys, and the best compensation settlements for diagnosed victims.
"The US Navy Veteran could have been exposed to asbestos while working in a ship's engine room, ammunition storage area(s), or as a plumber, electrician, or member of a maintenance crew on a ship.
"The shipyard work was probably exposed to asbestos on a daily basis, because in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and a portion of the 1980s the rules protecting workers from asbestos exposure was minimal. This meant an uneducated workforce being subjected to toxic asbestos fibers on a daily basis and for years on end. We are providing a list of common shipyards used by the US Navy but also want possible workers or family members to understand that compensation is still possible, even if you no longer live in the state where asbestos exposure occurred.
"The shipyards could have been located in:
Norfolk, Virginia
Bremerton, Washington
Bangor, Maine
Groton, Connecticut
Hunters Point, California,
Treasure Island, California
Baltimore, Maryland
Honolulu, Hawaii
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"We are also the nation's only group offering free services that connect diagnosed victims and/or their family with one of the nation's top mesothelioma attorneys. We constantly tell those we speak with to think outside of the box and go national when it comes to hiring a lawyer to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim. Get the best possible lawyer, and call us at 866-714-6466 so we can ensure that is exactly what happens." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging diagnosed victims of mesothelioma to compare current OSHA guidelines for shipyards in the United States and asbestos exposure, as opposed to asbestos exposure guidelines for shipyard workers, or US Navy Veterans in the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/asbestos/standards.html
