The Advocate Urges A Navy Veteran Who Has Late Stage Lung Cancer and Who Had Navy Asbestos Exposure Before 1982 to Call Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste-Compensation May Exceed $100,000

    WASHINGTON, DC, April 13, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "If your husband or dad is a Navy Veteran and he has just been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer and prior to 1982 he had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a navy shipyard-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 to discuss possible compensation. To get compensated it is vital a person like this recall the specifics of how they were exposed to asbestos in the navy. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the claim does not involve suing the navy.

"If the wife or adult children of a Navy Veteran who has lung cancer could ask their loved one about any specifics of how they were exposed to asbestos in the navy it might greatly assist in the compensation process-because with no specifics-compensation might be impossible. A few questions might be:

#1. "What was your job in the navy?"

#2. "Do you recall working around asbestos on a ship-submarine- or at a navy shipyard?"

#3. "Did you ever work in the engine room, machine shop, as a mechanic-on the ship-submarine?"

#4. "Do you recall the names of any shipmates who witnessed your asbestos exposure?"

Note----The asbestos exposure must have occurred before 1982.

"If you can get some of these questions answered-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. He can be incredibly helpful in this process---as long as he has a starting point." www.karstvonoiste.com/
