The US Navy Veterans Lung Cancer Advocate says, “If you are the wife or adult son-daughter of a Navy Veteran with lung cancer or a friend-please ask him if he had significant exposure to asbestos in the navy. If the answer is yes-please call-the lawyers at the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. The lawyers at the law firm of Karst von Oiste specialize in assisting Navy Veterans and people who had significant exposure to asbestos decades ago-and who now have lung cancer. Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed a hundred thousand dollars-even if the person smoked cigarettes.
“Most Navy Veterans who had significant exposure to asbestos decades ago and who now have lung cancer are not aware the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. The typical person we are trying to identify has lung cancer, he is over 60 years old and his asbestos exposure took place in the 1960s or 1970s in the navy or at work. If this sounds like you or a family member-please call the lawyers at the law firm of Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303. We think you will be glad you did.” www.karstvonoiste.com/
