Veterans & Mesothelioma
* Increase Font Size
* Print Article
The veterans of the United States military branches, including the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and others have served their country in times of war and peace, giving their time, effort, and sometimes their lives as part of their service. They have the same right to the best in medical care that is afforded to all in our country. Mesothelioma, a disease with no known cure, has felled many U.S. veterans, and the rights of these veterans to receive compensation for this work-related disease should be upheld.
Medical Care for Veterans Is Lacking
Unfortunately, many veterans are not receiving the medical care or disability benefits to which they are entitled. For example, some 600,000 VA claims for federal benefits are pending with the Veterans Administration, languishing in a bureaucratic morass for years at a time. These include more than 123,000 disability claims of vets of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Veterans with asbestos-induced mesothelioma are facing the same obstacles.
Millions of Veterans Exposed to Asbestos
It is now apparent that hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — of veterans were exposed to the toxic material asbestos as part of their military service. Asbestos was present in many products used by military members and civilian contractors when they built military facilities and ships (asbestos exposure navy ships) or maintained military vehicles. Common asbestos-containing products included:
* Cement
* Flooring products
* Insulation
* Steam pipes
* Hot water pipes
* Gaskets
* Brakes and clutches
* Boilers, turbines, and generators
Other members of the military were subjected to asbestos simply by being aboard ships, many of which had asbestos as a heavily used component. The pervasiveness of asbestos in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s made it difficult to avoid, particularly in the military. It has been estimated that up to 30% of veterans who served before 1970 were exposed to asbestos in some form. In addition, many members of the military who were in regular contact with asbestos inadvertently took the asbestos home with them on their clothing, thereby exposing their spouses and children.
In the Decades Before 1970
Before its dangers were identified, many thought of asbestos as a "miracle material" in light of its strength, durability, and fire-resistant qualities. It wasn't until the 1960s that overwhelming evidence of the risk of malignant mesothelioma cancer and other diseases caused by asbestos exposure finally started to shut the asbestos industry down, but by then, millions of people had been exposed to this toxic material in their workplaces and homes.
Veterans’ Rights and Mesothelioma Compensation
Mesothelioma often takes decades to manifest itself. It is now increasingly identified in soldiers, sailors, airmen and others who were exposed to asbestos years ago. These veterans have rights, including the right to receive proper medical care and compensation for their losses. Mesothelioma, or asbestos cancer, is a devastating disease that results in damages such as:
* Loss of work
* Loss of income
* Huge medical bills
* Loss of a spouse/parent/loved one
* Funeral and burial costs
* Pain and suffering
If mesothelioma has befallen you or your loved one, you have legal rights that can be protected with the assistance of an attorney. Contact an experienced and qualified mesothelioma attorney today to arrange a consultation and discuss your options.
Wars and Military Branches

Potter?s Widow Awarded $3M in Asbestos Case
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
A woman who claims her potter husband died from mesothelioma after inhaling an asbestos-containing material he frequently used for glazes, was awarded $3 million in damages.
This lawsuit is the first in the U.S. that deals with asbestos—a cancer-causing substance—in industrial talc. Over the last 30 years or so, asbestos-containing product manufacturers have paid billions of dollars in compensation to people who developed cancer and other life-threatening health problems.
According to the lawsuit, Peter Stanley Hirsch worked as a potter for many years before he was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in 2002. Less than two years later, Hirsch died from the extremely aggressive form of lung cancer.
“He had his life taken away prematurely,” said his wife of 22 years Bonnie L. Parker. “This verdict is where he is vindicated, where he does beat it.”
The defendants in the lawsuit, R.T. Vanderbilt Inc., which mines industrial talc often used in products like rubber, ceramics, and plastics, and Hammill & Gillespie Inc., the product distributor, must pay Parker $3 million for the pain and suffering she endured as a result of her husband’s death.
The plaintiff lawyers hope that this lawsuit will prompt the companies to take action to protect workers and consumers from the dangers of asbestos-containing talc.
“Not only must their own workers be protected from lung disease, end users and others who come into contact with the product must be warned properly of the carcinogenic fibers lurking in this dusty powder used in so many manufacturing applications,” said attorney Moshe Maimon.

Asbestos Found at Albion Normal School
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
According to reports, asbestos and lead have been discovered at the Albion Normal School in Albion, Idaho.
The asbestos school has long been closed, though health officials are worried that the findings could be harmful to local residents.
Developers have supposedly created a plan to remove the substances from the property by early summer.
Asbestos Found Causes Concern
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality reportedly found the asbestos, which was located in different four buildings on the school’s campus.
“Based on known concentrations, there is the potential for workers and those people visiting the site to be exposed to lead from dust,” explains the DEQ.
Although the school was closed in 1971, the alumni association still operates a museum on the campus, youth track is held on the property and several social events take place there.
Asbestos Used in Construction of School
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been linked to various forms of cancer throughout the last few decades.
The substance was reportedly used in the construction of the school buildings.
