ATLANTA , GEORGIA , USA, March 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to the Georgia US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate, "If your husband or dad served in the navy in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s or early 1980s and he has just been diagnosed with lung cancer please ask him if he can recall being exposed to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. If the answer is yes-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste anytime at 800-714-0303 to discuss financial compensation. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the claim does not involve suing the navy.

"At the same time, we want to reach out to a person anywhere in Georgia who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and to invite them to also call attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste if before 1982 they had significant exposure to asbestos at work. The types of workplaces where asbestos was present before 1982 include power plants, mills-factories, shipyards, construction sites, hospitals, schools, military bases, refineries, gas stations, etc.

"Most people who prior to 1982 had significant exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work and then develop lung cancer never get compensated because they do not realize the $30 billion dollar asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. If your husband or dad has within the last twelve months been diagnosed with lung cancer and before 1982-he had significant exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work-please call attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. We think you will be glad you did." www.karstvonoiste.com/
