PITTSBURGH , PENNSYLVANIA, USA, January 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Pennsylvania US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "We are appealing to the family of a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer to please call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if he also had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard while they were in the service. Financial compensation for a person like this might be well over $100,000 and it is important to add that the claim does not involve suing the navy. Further-it does not matter if the person smoked cigarettes or not. The typical person we are trying to identify is around 70 years old.

"We know most people have heard of mesothelioma-especially in a state like Pennsylvania. What most people and or Navy Veterans with lung cancer may not know is the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. If you have a Navy Veteran friend in Pennsylvania with lung cancer-please ask him if he had heavy exposure to asbestos in the navy. If the answer he 'he did' please have him or his family call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. We think they will be glad they did." www.karstvonoiste.com/

High-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos in Pennsylvania include US Navy Veterans, power plant workers, shipyard workers at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, oil refinery workers, steel mill workers, coal miners, manufacturing workers, public utility workers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, welders, millwrights, insulators, machinists, or construction workers. Typically, the person’s exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, or 1980’s. 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
