Mesothelioma cancer among veterans is an unfortunate reality. Rates of asbestos-related diseases are high in veterans because of the military's extensive asbestos use. Veterans exposed during service are eligible to make claims for benefits like health care and disability compensation.
If you served in the U.S. military and believe your asbestos exposure occurred during your service, you may be able to file for and receive compensation through the Veterans Administration (VA).
There are certain requirements you need to meet in order to qualify for veterans’ compensation. To sort through the complicated process, and to determine what you qualify for, let an experienced mesothelioma lawyer guide you.
