PORTLAND, OREGON, USA, November 12, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Oregon US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate is urging the family of a Navy Veteran with lung cancer in Oregon to please call the attorneys at the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if their loved one had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard.

The Advocate says, "If your husband, dad or friend is a Navy Veteran with lung cancer in Oregon and you know he had heavy asbestos exposure in the service-please call the lawyers at the law firm of Karst von Oiste for information about financial compensation. Having a copy of his DD-214 Navy Discharge papers will be extremely helpful as the lawyers at Karst von Oiste will explain anytime at 800-714-0303." www.karstvonoiste.com/

High-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos in Oregon include Veterans of the US Navy, power plant workers, factory workers, truck building workers, maritime workers, pulp and paper mill workers, public utility workers, plumbers, electricians, welders, auto mechanics, machinists, and construction workers.

According to the American Cancer Society for nonsmokers who have been exposed to asbestos in their workplace the risk of lung cancer is five times that of unexposed workers. https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/index.htm.

The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, “If your husband, dad, coworker or neighbor has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and you know they had significant exposure to asbestos in the navy, at a shipyard or while working at a factory, at power plant, public utility, or as a plumber, electrician welder, mechanic or any kind of skilled trades group in any state please have them call us anytime at 800-714-0303. Most people like this never get compensated-even though the asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. We are trying to change this sad fact.” https://USNavyLungCancer.Com
