Illinois US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Has Endorsed Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste to Ensure a Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer Gets Compensated-If He Had Navy Asbestos Exposure

    CHICAGO, IL, June 24, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Illinois US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate has endorsed, and they recommend attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste to be the go to person---for a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer-if while in the navy the Veteran had significant exposure to asbestos prior to 1982. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and it does not matter if he smoked cigarettes. Typically, a Navy Veteran like this served in the navy in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s-and their exposure to asbestos took place on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. For more information--please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. www.karstvonoiste.com/

The Advocate says, "The typical person we are trying to identify is over 60 years old, and their asbestos exposure must have taken place prior to 1982. The sad part about our efforts is most people who had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work-and then who develop lung cancer are not aware the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. If the person we have just described sounds like your husband or dad-and the lung cancer diagnosis is recent-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303." www.karstvonoiste.com/
