US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Urges a Navy Aircraft Carrier Veteran with Lung Cancer to Call Attorney Erik Karst of KVO if He Had Navy Asbestos Exposure-Compensation May Exceed $100,000

    WASHINGTON, DC, July 07, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "If you are a Navy Veteran and you have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and decades ago you had significant exposure to asbestos on any type of navy ship, submarine or at a navy shipyard please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste-KVO at 800-714-0303-especially if the exposure to asbestos occurred on an aircraft carrier.

"Our top priority is making certain a Navy Veteran or person with lung cancer receives the best possible financial compensation if in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s or early 1980s they had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and it does not matter if they smoked cigarettes. What does matter is the individual can recall the specifics of how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos. Financial compensation for a person who now has lung cancer and who decades ago had significant exposure to asbestos is based on how, where, and when the person was exposed to asbestos as attorney Erik Karst is always happy to discuss at 800-714-0303."

The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate is the top branded source in the nation for financial compensation for a Navy Veteran who has developed lung cancer after decades ago they had significant exposure to asbestos. The reason the group is focused on aircraft carriers is because they contained so much asbestos. "If you are a Navy Veteran with recently diagnosed lung cancer and you had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos on any type of navy ship-including an aircraft carrier-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste-KVO at 800-714-0303. As mentioned, compensation for a person like this can be significant and the claim does not involve suing the navy." www.karstvonoiste.com/
