MINNEAPOLIS , MINNESOTA, USA, July 25, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Minnesota Mesothelioma Victims Center believes some of the worst cases of asbestos exposure they have ever heard of involve jack of all trades-construction workers or skilled tradesmen who now have mesothelioma. Frequently these workers had no idea they were being exposed to asbestos. The group is urging a person with mesothelioma in Minnesota who was exposed to asbestos as a construction worker or skilled tradesman to call them anytime at 800-714-0303 to briefly discuss the financial compensation process and at the same time they would like to introduce the person to Erik Karst the founding partner of the law firm Karst von Oiste.

Karst von Oiste is one of the nation's premier mesothelioma law firms and they have been serving people with mesothelioma in Minnesota for a generation.www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Minnesota Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We fear that most construction or skilled trades workers with mesothelioma will grossly undervalue their potential financial compensation claim. Depending on the specifics of their asbestos exposure, the financial compensation claim could start at the hundreds of thousands of dollars and go up from there. The key to any successful compensation claim is being properly represented by skilled lawyers who know what to do. The most important thing a construction worker or skilled trades worker should know is they could have easily been exposed to dozens of building products over their career that contained asbestos as we would like to discuss at 800-714-0303." https://Minnesota.MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The types of building products that formerly contained asbestos include:
* Insulation
* Roofing Shingles
