NASHVILLE , TENNESSEE , USA, September 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Tenessee US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, "If you are a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer anywhere in Tennessee and you had heavy to extreme exposure to asbestos in the navy prior to 1982 please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 to discuss possible compensation that might exceed $100,000. A financial claim like this does not involve suing the navy and it does not matter if the Veteran smoked cigarettes. What does matter is the Navy Veteran can recall some of the specifics of how, where and when they were exposed to asbestos on a navy ship, submarine or at a shipyard.

"Most of the Navy Veterans we try to help are over 60 years old and their navy asbestos exposure occurred in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s on a ship, submarine or at a shipyard. Individuals who had heavy exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work have a five times greater chance of developing lung cancer. Most people like this are totally unaware the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too.

"If your husband or dad is a Navy Veteran who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and he has mentioned that he had substantial exposure to asbestos in the navy-please call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 to discuss what might turn out to be significant financial compensation." www.karstvonoiste.com/

High-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos in Tennessee include US Navy Veterans, civilian employees of the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, the Holston Army Plant, or the Arnold Air Force Base, power plant workers for the TVA, manufacturing or industrial workers, public utility workers, plumbers, electricians, welders, insulators, millwrights, pipefitters, auto mechanics, machinists, coal miners, or construction workers. Typically, the exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, or 1980’s. www.karstvonoiste.com/

According to the American Cancer Society for nonsmokers who have been exposed to asbestos in their workplace the risk of lung cancer is five times that of unexposed workers. https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/index.htm.

“Most people with lung cancer and who had heavy exposure to asbestos in the navy or at work never get compensated-even though the asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. We are trying to change this sad fact.” https://USNavyLungCancer.Com

States with the highest incidence of lung cancer include Kentucky, West Virginia, Maine, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Alabama, and Delaware. www.karstvonoiste.com/
