South Dakota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate Urges a Navy Veteran with Lung Cancer to Call Attorney Erik Karst of KVO If They Had Navy Asbestos Exposure-Compensation Might Exceed $100,000

    RAPID CITY, SD, September 09, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The South Dakota US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "We are urging a Navy Veteran in South Dakota who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer to please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste-KVO at 800-714-0303 if while in the navy he had significant exposure to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000 and the claim does not involve suing the navy. Most people like this do not realize the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. It does not matter if the person smoked cigarettes.

"If you have a Navy Veteran friend or neighbor in South Dakota who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and he has mentioned asbestos exposure on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard prior to 1982 please share our press release with their wife or family members and request they call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste-KVO at 800-714-0303 to discuss what might turn out to be significant financial compensation. As we mentioned-most people like this never get compensated-even though they should." www.karstvonoiste.com/
