Air Force Veterans and Mesothelioma Claims

U. S. Air Force Veterans with Mesothelioma or any Asbestos-related diseases may be eligible to receive compensation from responsible asbestos companies and manufacturers.

Air Force Veterans who served in the Armed Forces are increasingly receiving Mesothelioma diagnosis 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. Air Force planes were built with parts containing toxic asbestos.

From the 1930s to the 1970s, many U.S. Air Force planes were constructed with parts containing asbestos, such as engines, brakes, wiring and other materials that needed to insulation from the extreme heat. Asbestos was in Air Force base buildings and base housing used by Air Force service members and their families.

Air Force Mesothelioma Cancer

  • The U. S. Air Force (USAF) was founded in 1907 as the air power division of U. S. Army.
  • The U. S. Air Force broke away from the U. S. Army in 1947.
    Because asbestos can 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.
  • USAF Veterans had exposure to asbestos working in aviation crash crews and when fighting fires and rescuing personnel from burning planes.
  • Asbestos was found in the Eagle Ridge housing area on Ellsworth Air Force Base after a recent inspection of military housing.

Many Air Force 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 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 four 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 holding asbestos companies and manufacturers that exposed Veterans to the toxic asbestos dust and fibers accountable by awarding victims large settlements for their pain and suffering.

Air Force Veterans and Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is most dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Most Air Force Veterans are particularly at risk because they worked on building and demolition projects that exposed them to asbestos fibers and dust. It was nearly impossible to avoid coming into to contact with asbestos if you worked on military construction sites.

Most Air Force Veterans had daily exposure to toxic asbestos dust and fibers where they inhaled and ingested them without any protection in their workplace. Families of workers and other Most Air Force Veterans that were in contact with asbestos secondhand are also developing Mesothelioma and another asbestos-related disease.

Many Most Air Force 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.

Air Force Veterans Have the Right to sue Manufacturers that exposed them to Asbestos.

Air Force Veterans and Asbestos Containing Products

Asbestos was used in the building and maintenance of aircraft, primarily to aid in the protection against fire and heat. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) were used in barracks, hangars, aircraft repair facilities, fire stations, administration buildings, fuel storage tanks, and motor pools. Asbestos-laced cement and other materials were also used when constructing on-base housing for enlisted personnel, officers, and their families. Air Force Veterans that worked in boiler rooms, engine rooms, installing brakes, gaskets, insulation, valves, and pipes have a higher risk of developing an asbestos-related disease.

Veterans and Asbestos Exposure

The U. S. Armed Forces used asbestos-containing products in ships, aircraft, buildings, military bases, 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.

Thousands of U. S. servicemen and women came into contact with asbestos fibers during their tour of service.

  • Asbestos was used by the U. S. Military in more than 300 different materials and products.
  • Millions of U. S. Veterans have had exposure to asbestos during their tour of service.
  • A recent study showed that as many as 30-40% of Mesothelioma victims is U. S. Veterans.
  • Mesothelioma has affected veterans from all branches of service, including those who worked in Navy shipyards.
  • The U.S. Military used thousands of asbestos-containing products in their ships between the 1920-late 1970s.
  • Asbestos was listed as the top contaminant at 32 U.S. Army base closures during the 1990s.
  • There are 21.5 million current living Veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • Malignant Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases primarily occur in Veterans between the ages of 55-75.
  • Veterans who served between 1940 and 1970 have the highest risk of developing Mesothelioma or asbestos-related cancer.
    14 in every 1,000 WW II shipyard workers died of an asbestos-related disease compared to 18 in every 1,000 combat-related deaths.
  • Asbestos was used heavily in the shipbuilding and military ships. Many veterans working in cramped quarters have had exposure to asbestos.

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 risk of asbestos exposure as far back as the 1920s but hid this information from the public, the medical community, and even the U.S. Military. They 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.

Asbestos Trust Funds and Mesothelioma Claims

U. S. Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts Funds have paid out nearly 21 billion to more than 600,000 asbestos claimants. There are about 60 active Asbestos Trust Funds with an estimated $32 billion in remaining assets.

Asbestos Settlement Trusts were established to help compensate workers and their families for asbestos exposure causing Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When an Asbestos company establishes a Trust Fund all settlements are managed by trustees that decide the compensation amounts paid to Mesothelioma claimants. U. S. Courts allow Asbestos defendants to file for protection under a legal process known as bankruptcy reorganization. This allows the company to pay claims and stay in business.

Asbestos Trust Fund settlements typically do not come with an admission of guilt by the asbestos company that set up the trust.

If you have a history of asbestos exposure you should be checked each year by a qualified doctor.

We have been helping victims of asbestos exposure and their families for more than 20 years.

If you or a family member has been diagnosed with Malignant Mesothelioma or an Asbestos-related disease, we are here to help you file a claim with an experience Mesothelioma lawyer that will fight for you!


Need Help Choosing a Mesothelioma Lawyer?

We have been counseling Veterans and Mesothelioma patients for more than 15 years on the legal and medical sides of Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related cancers. A Mesothelioma case can settle in the seven-figure range. Be very careful in choosing a Mesothelioma lawyer to represent you and your family.

Mesothelioma is a highly specialized legal field and having an experienced Veterans Mesothelioma lawyer can make a massive difference in the amount of your settlement.

Mesothelioma cases can take 1-3 years in the busy U. S. Court system. Lawyers for Asbestos companies will try to stretch out the time to settle, and some Mesothelioma patients will die during this time. At this point, it will become a Mesothelioma Wrongful Death case.

Family members are allowed to seek financial compensation from the negligence of asbestos manufacturers for their loss.


Malignant Mesothelioma Cancer

Malignant Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, heart, and major organs in the body. Mesothelioma cancer cells are in the sac lining the chest (pleura) or the abdomen (peritoneum). There are about 3,000 new fatal Mesothelioma cases diagnosed each year in the U. S. If you are experiencing any Mesothelioma symptoms, you should contact a doctor immediately.


Veterans Diagnosed With Mesothelioma?

Family Member Died From Mesothelioma?

If you have a family member that has died from Mesothelioma cancer, immediately consult with an experienced Mesothelioma lawyer about your available compensation from asbestos trust funds.

We have seen many families lose their right to file a lawsuit because their Statute of Limitations had expired while they were grieving. Although there is a tremendous mourning period with the loss of a loved one, it is crucial not to let your Statute of Limitations expire before filing a Mesothelioma lawsuit. In most states, the Statute of Limitations is 2-3 years. Some states have a 6-year Statute of Limitations.


Mesothelioma Latency Period

Mesothelioma has a long latency period of 10-50 years. Many Veterans, Shipyard Workers, Construction Workers, Power Plant Workers, Mill Workers, Steel Workers, Railroad Workers, Pipefitters, Insulators, Electricians, Carpenters, Welders, Auto Mechanics, Veterans, Factory Workers, and laborers are living in the early stages of a variety of asbestos-related diseases. Many Mesothelioma lawyers will not accept asbestosis, asbestos lung cancer, pleural plaques, pleural thickening, colon cancer, and esophageal cancer cases.
