Massachusetts Mesothelioma Attorney Releases Asbestos Exposure Information for Navy Veterans
The mesothelioma attorneys at the Shepard Law Firm are pleased to offer asbestos exposure information for Navy veterans who served between 1930 and 1970. The Shepard Law Firm has provided information regarding asbestos exposure aboard naval ships to help Massachusetts veterans determine whether they have a history of asbestos exposure.
Navy veterans who worked aboard ships that contained asbestos may now be at risk for asbestos-related illnesses, such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. To find out if your former naval vessel contained asbestos, visit http://www.shepardlawfirm.com/. Click on the “US Navy Veterans: Asbestos Exposure Risks” to browse a list of ships that contained asbestos. Aircraft carriers, Battleships, Destroyer Escorts, Escort Carriers, and Radar Picket Destroyers are among the types of Navy ships found to contain asbestos.
Users can select a type of naval vessel to learn about asbestos exposure aboard that specific ship. Navy veterans from Massachusetts who have developed an asbestos-related disease can also receive a free legal consultation by completing the red “Free Case Review” form on the site. The free case evaluation is offered to all potential clients on behalf of the Boston mesothelioma attorneys at the Shepard Law Firm.
Between 1930 and 1970, the Navy used hundreds of asbestos-containing products for insulation purposes. The presence of asbestos put those aboard at risk for asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that does not typically present symptoms until decades after asbestos exposure. Many Massachusetts Navy veterans may now be at risk for asbestos-related illnesses, as the mineral was used in engine rooms, boilers rooms, sleeping quarters, navigation rooms and mess halls.
