Mesothelioma Attorneys for Veterans
Veterans account for roughly one-third of all mesothelioma diagnoses in the United States. The attorneys in this category pursue civil claims against the manufacturers who supplied asbestos products to the military — and coordinate VA disability benefits in parallel.
Highest-risk service
U.S. Navy service between 1940 and 1980 — especially aboard ships, in engine rooms, and at shipyards — carries the highest documented mesothelioma risk. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard veterans are also frequently affected.
You are not suing the government
Civil claims target the private companies that manufactured and sold asbestos-containing products to the military. VA benefits are a separate, parallel process.
VA benefits available
Mesothelioma is rated 100% disabling by the VA. Attorneys in this category can help file for disability compensation and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) for surviving spouses.
