Firm Information
Overview
Military servicemen and servicewomen are exposed to asbestos at much higher rates than the general U.S. population. At the Gori Law Firm, our team of attorneys help United States Military Veterans, current service members and other defense industry employees seek compensation for medical conditions developed as a result of asbestos exposure.
Dozens of asbestos-laden products currently or formerly in use at naval shipyards, on ships and on Navy bases have been identified, including:
- Boilers
- Valves
- Thermal material
- Pipe insulation
- Block insulation
- Hydraulic assemblies
- Brakes
- Gaskets
- Paneling
- Floor coverings
- Deck covering materials
- Adhesives
- Cement
- Mortar and aggregate mixtures
- Bedding compounds
- Many other products
Asbestos was used extensively because of its highly effective insulating and flame-retardant qualities, but records show that the health dangers of asbestos were known long before its use in military products and even longer before products containing asbestos were taken out of service. Some buildings, ships and products currently in use contain asbestos.
If you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos in the U.S. Military, you should speak with a highly qualified oncologist and one of our experienced naval asbestos exposure attorneys as soon as possible. We serve clients nationwide, and we have recovered more than $1 billion of compensation on behalf of our clients.
Our team excels at identifying vessels, shipyards and duty stations nationwide where former service members and defense employees were exposed to asbestos. We have handled thousands of mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer asbestos cases throughout the United States. Our lawyers are seasoned litigators, and we know how to obtain the compensation you and your family deserve for damages and illness resulting from Navy asbestos exposure.
