BANGOR, MAINE, USA, February 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Advocate is appealing to the wife or adult children of a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma in Maine to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 if before 1982 he had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. Financial compensation for a person like this might be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and the claim does not involve suing the navy. It also does not matter if the person smoked cigarettes.

The Advocate says, "We are by far the best branded group in the nation for Navy Veterans who have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and who before 1982 had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard-such as Bangor, Norfolk, Long Beach, Hunters Point, Bremerton or Pearl Harbor---and we want people like this to receive the best possible compensation. If your husband or dad is a Navy Veteran and he has just been diagnosed with lung cancer-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste if he had regular exposure to asbestos before 1982." www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Maine US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate’s free services are available to people with asbestos exposure lung cancer or mesothelioma in Portland, Lewiston, Bangor or anywhere in or anywhere in Maine. https://Maine.USNavyLungCancer.Com

Important Note from the US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate: “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. Frequently compensation for people like this might exceed $100,000.” https://USNavyLungCancer.Com
