Minnesota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Suggests Attorney Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste for a Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer Who Had Navy Asbestos Exposure-Compensation May Exceed $100,000

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 19, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Minnesota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate has endorsed and are suggesting a Navy Veteran who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 for a serious conversation about compensation-if while in the navy the Veteran had significant exposure to asbestos in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. Compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the claim does not involve suing the navy.

The Advocate says, "Almost no one who develops lung cancer decades after being exposed to asbestos in the navy or at a workplace such as a factory, power plant, shipyard, as a construction worker or skilled trades worker ever gets compensated-even though they should. If the person we have just described sounds like your husband or dad and his asbestos exposure happened prior to 1982 to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 to discuss compensation. Erik Karst of Karst von Oiste is one of the nation's leading asbestos exposure attorneys and he can help." www.karstvonoiste.com/
