NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are urging any member of the US Merchant Marine or any maritime worker who has recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma to call us anytime at 800-714-0303 to ensure they are talking directly to the nation's most skilled and experienced mesothelioma attorneys. We are the top ranked source in the nation for the 'best possible financial compensation for a US Navy Veteran' and we are strongly encouraging members of the Merchant Marine or any maritime worker to call us to discuss top mesothelioma lawyers and why it is vital to have one for the best possible financial compensation results.
"We are especially focused on two particular groups of Merchant Marine members or maritime workers: those who were working prior to 1990 and those who provided support in the Vietnam War from US ports via the Military Sea Transportation Service." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
Military Sea Transportation Service took roughly 100 Victory ships out of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (mothball fleet), repaired them, and assigned them to private companies for operation to carry ammunition across the Pacific. MSTS carried guns, tanks, trucks, trains, riverboats, barges, helicopters, bombers, fighters, reconnaissance planes, food, fuel, and medical supplies. By 1965, MSTS had 300 freighters and tankers supplying Vietnam, with an average of 75 ships and over 3,000 merchant mariners in Vietnamese ports at any time.
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are incredibly passionate about making certain that any person with mesothelioma receives the very best financial compensation for mesothelioma, especially if the person's exposure to asbestos occurred while they were serving our nation in the US Navy, or the Merchant Marine.
"If we had one vital tip for a member of the Merchant Marine or the US Navy it would be this:
- Do yourself a favor and call us anytime at 800-714-0303. Let's make sure you are dealing with the nation's top attorneys as the best possible mesothelioma financial compensation typically requires one of the nation's most skilled and capable mesothelioma attorneys." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
