A Deadly Threat Onboard Navy Ships

Asbestos was used heavily in Navy ships for insulation, gaskets, flooring and more from the 1930s through the 1970s. As a result, Navy veterans worked and lived in close quarters with toxic asbestos fibers floating in the air. When inhaled, these sharp fibers lodge in the lining of the lungs, eventually causing genetic mutations that can lead to mesothelioma and other diseases decades later.

The Braver Law Commitment to U.S. Navy Veterans

Braver Law was founded on the principle that our veterans deserve justice. We understand the unique challenges faced by Navy veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma. Our mesothelioma lawyers handle your case with compassion, and we are honored to fight on your behalf.

Maximizing Compensation for Navy Veterans

There are several sources of compensation available to Navy veterans with mesothelioma. Our lawyers maximize your claim using:

  • Lawsuits Against Companies - We build strong cases that prove companies knowingly exposed you to asbestos while serving your country. Successful suits result in million-dollar+ verdicts.
  • Asbestos Trust Funds - We swiftly file claims with asbestos bankruptcy trusts, created by asbestos companies to compensate victims. $30 billion in funds are still available in these trusts.
  • VA Disability Benefits - We help you file for VA benefits for medical costs, lost wages and more. Youhave earned these benefits through your service.

Mesothelioma Lawyers Standing With Our Heroes Through the Fight

We understand a mesothelioma diagnosis turns your life upside down. You need an advocate by your side. Our Navy veteran clients become part of our family as we guide you through financial obstacles and legal battles. Rest assured that with our mesothelioma lawyers by your side, you will not fight alone.

Pursuing the Justice Navy Veterans Deserve Through Mesothelioma Claims

At Braver Law, we help Navy veterans and their families pursue compensation through claims, settlements and lawsuits. Our attorneys handle complex cases and our network of attorneys has a consistent track record of securing billions in financial recovery for clients who were exposed to asbestos while serving our country. We handle every aspect of the legal process on your behalf so you can focus on your health and time with loved ones during this difficult period.

Our attorneys leave no stone unturned when building strong legal claims. We thoroughly investigate your naval service history, including the specific ships you served on and the tasks you performed. We track down witnesses who can provide testimony on the use of asbestos materials onboard and resulting hazardous exposures. We gather extensive medical evidence and expert testimony to prove your diagnosis is directly linked to asbestos exposure while in the Navy. Our exhaustive preparation results in maximum compensation for you.

Securing Financial Claims Through All Available Channels

There are three primary ways we maximize compensation for our veteran clients:

  • Lawsuits Against Companies - We build ironclad cases against asbestos product manufacturers and distributors, proving that they knowingly concealed the dangers of asbestos and caused veterans like you to develop mesothelioma decades later. Our goals are 7and 8-figure jury verdicts or settlements for clients.
  • Asbestos Trust Claims - We rapidly prepare and file claims with asbestos trust funds established by bankrupt companies to pay victims. With billions remaining in these trusts, they are a vital source of compensation for veterans and families. We ensure claims are filed before statutes of limitations run out.
  • VA Disability Benefits - We assist you with the detailed process of filing for VA benefits related to your asbestos exposure and mesothelioma diagnosis. This can help cover medical bills, lost wages, and other costs. You earned these benefits through your naval service.

By combining compensation from these multiple sources, we are able to maximize payouts for clients, often reaching into the millions. This prevents severe financial hardship during an already overwhelming and challenging time. Our top priority is ensuring you and your loved ones are fully taken care of.

Gaining a Clear Understanding of Mesothelioma and Asbestos Use in the U.S. Navy

Unfortunately, asbestos was used extensively by the U.S. Navy starting in the 1930s through the 1970s. Veterans like you lived and worked aboard crowded ships filled with asbestos materials that put you at constant risk. When those aging ships were repaired or retrofitted in shipyards, even more asbestos fibers were released into the air, resulting in hazardous exposure levels for sailors as well as civilian shipyard workers.

On these vessels, asbestos was widely utilized for insulation on pipes, boilers, steam engines and nuclear reactors. It was also common in gaskets, floor and ceiling tiles, seals, pumps, valves and more. This toxic mineral seemed like the perfect material at the time, but we now know that inhaling or ingesting its microscopic fibers can lead to deadly asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer that develop decades after exposure.

High-Risk Occupations in the Navy with Asbestos Exposure

Those who served in certain naval occupations faced a heightened risk of toxic asbestos exposure:

  • Machinist's Mates - Repaired engines and equipment lined with asbestos insulation and gaskets
  • Boiler Technicians - Handled asbestos blankets, blocks, cement and other materials
  • Construction Mechanics - Ripped out old asbestos materials and installed new asbestos-containing ones during repairs
  • Enginemen - Worked with asbestos gaskets, packing materials, seals and insulation daily
  • Damage Controlmen - Had to repair ruptured asbestos insulation in emergencies

Taking Legal Action Before It's Too Late with Mesothelioma Lawyers by Your Side

Because mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases have extremely long latency periods, veterans are often diagnosed many decades after their exposure occurred. That's why it's critical to take legal action quickly before statutes of limitations expire. Our lawyers handle all filing deadlines and paperwork so you can focus on yourself and your family.
