Veterans file nearly 30 percent of all mesothelioma lawsuits in the United States. All branches of the military relied on asbestos in the past, and builders overseas still do. As a result, veterans are more likely than others to develop asbestos-related diseases.

So, if you served in any of the waters close to Vietnam within the 12-miles limit it is in your best interest to file for Veteran benefits. Please check out the VA web page for presumptive conditions. In L. P. S Martin G Wood
