Veterans and Mesothelioma
Thousands
of men and women who served our county from World War II to Vietnam are
sick from asbestos exposure during their military service. Asbestos was
often used for a number of military purposes especially construction
and ship-building. Due to long latency periods, people who served as far
back as the Second World War are only now being diagnosed.
While
a diagnosis of mesothelioma is bad enough, veterans lack the same
rights as civilians when it comes to compensation for their exposure.
According
to "sovereign immunity," compensation cannot be sought from their
former employer, the federal government. The only legal path for
veterans is to try and find companies that were involved in providing or
installing the asbestos to which they were exposed. However given the
amount of time that has elapsed, most of those potential plaintiffs are
out of business or involved in bankruptcy proceedings, making it
difficult to receive compensation.
