The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Not having the best mesothelioma lawyers in your corner advancing your compensation claim, if you have been diagnosed with this rare cancer, is like sending a US Navy ship into harm's way without ammunition."
"About one-third of the diagnosed victims of mesothelioma we talk to are US Navy Veterans, who not only had daily exposure to asbestos on a US Navy ship, but more often than not had extreme asbestos exposure because they were exposed to asbestos when their ship was in a US Navy shipyard for a retrofit or overhaul. Typically the US Navy Veteran describes their shipyard experience as working all day in a cloud of asbestos, and then waking up in the morning covered with asbestos.
"We cannot emphasize enough how incredibly vital it is for individuals like these, or their family members to call us at 866-714-6466 to make certain that these specific types of cancer victims have assembled the best possible legal experts to advance their mesothelioma compensation claim. As we would like to explain, hiring a less-than-qualified lawyer or law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim means that the victim and their family are stuck with that decision." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
