Asbestos was known in antiquity, but it was not mined and widely used commercially until the late 19th century. Its use greatly increased during World War II. Since the early 1940s, thousands of Navy veterans have been exposed to asbestos dust. If you suffer from an asbestos-related illness and decide to file a claim for compensation it is important to find a legal expert as the claim process is complex and requires an in-depth understanding of the law.
