If you are a U. S. Marine Veteran and have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma or any Asbestos related diseases you may be eligible to receive compensation from responsible asbestos companies and manufacturers. U. S. Marine Veterans who served in the Armed Forces are being diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases. Most Veterans do not start showing asbestos related symptoms until 10-50 years after their initial exposure. Asbestos exposure is responsible for approximately 10,000 deaths each year in the United States. From 1930 through 1980 U. S. Marine were exposed to asbestos-containing products on Navy war ships, in armored vehicles, on base buildings and base housing used by U. S. Marine service members and their families.

  • The U. S. Marines and the Navy have been working together since the inception of this America’s military.
  • Because asbestos has an ability to withstand extreme heat, it was used widely throughout the U. S. Military.
  • The U. S. Armed Forces used asbestos-containing products in ships, aircraft, buildings, barracks, mess halls, and other military facilities.
  • The Department of Veterans Affairs states that there are over 25 million Americans that have previously served in the U.S. Military.

  • Tests were done at the U. S. Marine Camp Grainger, Tarawa Terrace (1 & 2), and Camp Lejeune found asbestos present but a variety of other Asbestos-containing products and materials were present.

Many U. S. Marine Veterans diagnosed with Mesothelioma have complained that they were not given any warning, training or respiratory protective gear when handling, installing, loading, repairing, or removing asbestos-containing products.

The Navy’s Surgeon General became aware in 1939 that asbestosis was being caused by extended asbestos exposure to Veterans yet the Navy continued its use of asbestos for 4 more decades. U. S. regulations on asbestos exposure began in the late 1970s. Because of its long latency period asbestos-related diseases like Mesothelioma cancer has made Veterans sick through no fault of their own. U. S. Courts are now holding asbestos companies and manufacturers that exposed Veterans to the toxic asbestos dust and fibers accountable by awarding mesothelioma victims large settlements for their pain and suffering.

We Do Not Sue the Military or the Government.

Asbestos related cancers among Veterans are not the fault of the military or even the government. It is the fault of the asbestos manufacturers and companies. Asbestos companies knew of the potential health issues related to asbestos exposure as far back as the 1920’s, but knowingly hid this information from the public, the medical community and even the U.S. Military and continued to profit off their deadly asbestos materials.

If you are a Veteran and are suffering from Mesothelioma cancer, you can seek justice from these greedy asbestos manufacturers. It’s not unpatriotic to fight back against the big asbestos companies that have exposed you deadly asbestos products.

Veterans injured from asbestos exposure during their service have the right to sue the asbestos companies that produced and sold the asbestos materials and products used by the U. S. Military
