For several decades, the U.S. Navy used asbestos as a tool, to fireproof or waterproof certain materials. Due to the widespread use of asbestos, many Navy veterans faced exposure to asbestos, leading to a high risk of developing asbestos-related health issues. Being diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness can be shocking and devastating for you and your family. If you had direct contact with asbestos while serving in the military, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering, and financial losses.
