Veterans' Exposure to Asbestos

For years, asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding and on military vessels. Many sailors living and working in these confined quarters may have been exposed to asbestos during their years of services. If you are a veteran of the armed forces – particularly the Navy – the following resources can help you determine whether you are at risk of mesothelioma or other illnesses:

• Asbestos in Ship's Boilers
• Asbestos in Pipes
• Asbestos in Insulation

Your Legal Rights and Options

Being exposed to asbestos is not your fault. You may have been put in harm's way because of a previous job, a careless employer, or a negligent manufacturing company. If you are suffering from mesothelioma, Williams Kherkher can help you explore the legal options available to you.
