Minnesota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Has Endorsed Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste for a Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer in Minnesota-Who Had Navy Asbestos Exposure-Get Compensated

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, June 17, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Minnesota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate has endorsed, and they recommend attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste to make certain a Navy Veteran who has recently been diagnosed lung cancer gets what might exceed $100,000-if while in the navy he had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. The asbestos exposure for a Navy Veteran like this must have occurred prior to 1982. To qualify for compensation--it does not matter if the Navy Veteran smoked cigarettes. What does matter is the Navy Veteran can recall the specifics of how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos as attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss at 800-714-0303. www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Advocate says, "If you are a Navy Veteran with lung cancer anywhere in Minnesota and in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s you had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy please take your potential financial compensation seriously. Most people like you never get compensated because they do not realize the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for people exactly like you. If the person we have just described sounds like your husband or dad-and his lung cancer diagnosis is recent-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. We think you will be glad you did." www.karstvonoiste.com/
