PROVIDENCE , RHODE ISLAND, USA, January 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Rhode Island US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "We are urging a Navy Veteran with lung cancer in Rhode Island or their family to please call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303---if the Veteran had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or a shipyard. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the financial claim does not involve suing the navy. Most people like this never get compensated because they do not realize the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too.

"If the Navy Veteran we have described sounds like a member of the VFW, American legion or a friend please ask their wife or adult son-daughter to call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. The typical person we are trying to help is in their 60s or 70s and their asbestos exposure took place prior to 1982. It does not matter if they smoked cigarettes." www.karstvonoiste.com/

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
