LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY , USA, September 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Kentucky US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate is urging a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer anywhere in Kentucky to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if while in the navy they had significant exposure to asbestos. Erik Karst is one of the nation's leading asbestos exposure attorneys and he specializes in helping Navy Veterans. Financial compensation for a Navy Veteran who had navy asbestos exposure before 1982 and who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer might be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos as Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss. www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Advocate says, "Most Navy Veterans who develop lung cancer after decades earlier being exposed to asbestos never get compensated even though these are exactly the type of people the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for. If your husband or dad is a Navy Veteran who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and he has confirmed to you that he had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. As we mentioned financial compensation for a person like this might be substantial." www.karstvonoiste.com/
