Recent EPA Announcement Causes Mesothelioma Victims Center To Urge Veterans Who Were Exposed To Asbestos To Call About Compensation If Mesothelioma Has Been Diagnosed
(PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- This week the Mesothelioma Victims Center is calling attention to Veterans who had moderate- to extreme-exposure to asbestos while serving our nation in the US Armed Forces. There can be significant compensation for these types of individuals if they have developed a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma.
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "In a recently updated public announcement, the EPA released information how how a subdivision in Oregon that was built on a former US Army base is now considered to be partially contaminated. North Ridge Estates is a residential subdivision located approximately three miles north of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The site is contaminated with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) resulting from the demolition of approximately eighty 1940s-era military barracks buildings. We are using this announcement to help US Army soldiers who used to live in these barracks better understand that they could have been exposed to asbestos and not told anything about it until now.”
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging all Department of Defense (US Navy, US Army, US Air Force, or US Marines) workers who were exposed to asbestos while serving the United States to call 866-714-6466 if they have developed a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma. The most important note to take away from this is that there can be substantial compensation for these types of individuals. As the Center would like to explain, it is of the utmost importance for diagnosed victims of mesothelioma or their family members to have instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys. These legal specialists consistently get the best compensation for individuals with this rare form of cancer. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
