Louisiana 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

    NEW ORLEANS, LA, July 30, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to the Louisiana US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate, "We have endorsed attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste to assist a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer with financial compensation-if decades ago they had significant exposure to asbestos. Financial compensation for a person like this might be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. To qualify the Navy Veteran must have been exposed to asbestos prior to 1982 and it does not matter if they smoked cigarettes. What does matter is they recall the specifics of their asbestos exposure as attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste is always happy to discuss at 800-714-0303.

"We know there are asbestos exposure ads that seem to run nonstop in New Orleans about asbestos exposure and getting compensated. The person we are trying to get identified is a Navy Veteran who now has lung cancer and who decades ago had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard.

"Erik Karst is one of the nation's leading asbestos exposure lung cancer and mesothelioma attorneys and he and his colleagues have been assisting people who now have serious illnesses because of asbestos exposure for decades. If you are a Navy Veteran with recently diagnosed lung cancer in Louisiana and you had substantial exposure to asbestos in the navy prior to 1982 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/
