The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "The first question we ask any diagnosed victim of mesothelioma with a US Navy background is, 'What was your 'rating' in the navy, and what type of ship did you serve on?' The second question we ask is, 'What type of work did you do after your time in the US Navy?' Frequently these US Navy Veterans learned a job skill in the navy that they carried with them the rest of their life. These skills typically include: plumbing, electrical repairs, boiler maintenance, machinist work, or as a heating technician.
"The typical US Navy Veteran we talk with that has been diagnosed with mesothelioma served in the US Navy during the Cold War; from the late 1950s though the 1980s. Typically their ship's were loaded with asbestos, as insulation technology at the time was limited. In about half the cases, the Veteran moved on to workplaces where they were re-exposed to asbestos as work was easier to find in their given skill set. This type of case can potentially make a mesothelioma compensation claim worth over one million dollars.
"There is a catch. When it comes to winning million-dollar mesothelioma claim settlements, the US Navy Veteran must have one of the nation's most skilled mesothelioma lawyers advancing their claim—that's it. If you are a US Navy Veteran, and you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please call us at 866-714-6466 before you hire a lawyer. All we want is to ensure you are dealing with one of the nation's best mesothelioma lawyers found at http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com."
