NEW YORK, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are urging a US Navy Veteran who was exposed to asbestos at a shipyard and now has mesothelioma to call us anytime at 800-714-0303. We want to provide them with direct access to the nation's top mesothelioma compensation attorneys when it comes to Navy Veterans. Most of the US Navy Veterans with mesothelioma we hear from had extreme exposure to asbestos at a US Navy Shipyard while their ship was undergoing repairs.
"The most descriptive terms we have heard from Navy Veterans that best describe daily work habits include, 'clouds of asbestos below deck,' and 'more asbestos in the air than breathable air at a shipyard.' The exposure to asbestos for these types of people occurred in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s; the types of Navy Veterans we are focused on were on every imaginable type of US Navy ship.
"Typically, the higher amounts of exposure to asbestos took place while sailors had to stay aboard their ship at a shipyard because they had a certain skill set that was vital. These sailors were typically assigned to a navy ship's engine room, damage control, at a ship's machine shop, or they were an electrician, pipefitter, plumber, or welder." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
Vital mesothelioma compensation tips for a US Navy Veteran who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma from the Mesothelioma Victims Center: "US Navy Veterans with a recent diagnosis of mesothelioma, or their family members, need to call us anytime at 800-714-0303 so they can be shown how vital it is to hire a lawyer who has at least one decade of assisting Navy Veterans in obtaining the best possible financial compensation. If the lawyers you are talking with cannot provide family references that prove that they personally were the driving force for a US Navy Veteran obtaining a million-dollar settlement, please call us for some of the nation's top mesothelioma attorneys who have these types of references." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
