Mesothelioma compensation for a Navy Veteran who spent three or four years in the navy might exceed a million dollars. For a career Navy Veteran with mesothelioma-their compensation might be in the millions of dollars depending on how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos as attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss.

The group says, "Because Virginia is home to the world's largest navy base there are a significant number of Navy Veterans who live there. During their service or post navy a Veteran may have spent significant time at the shipyard at Norfolk or other shipyards. Shipyard exposure to asbestos can dramatically increase a person's chances of developing mesothelioma or asbestos exposure lung cancer. If the person we have described sounds like your husband or dad-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste anytime at 800-714-0303 to discuss financial compensation.
