🇺🇸 Veterans - you served this country. You deserve to know your rights.
Here's a fact that too many veterans don't know: military veterans make up just under 10% of the U.S. population — but they account for one-third of all mesothelioma patients.
Why? Because for most of the 20th century, asbestos was used in virtually every branch of the U.S. military. Navy ships: - battleships, submarines, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and more - were packed with it in boiler rooms, engine rooms, pipe insulation, and deck tiles. Army barracks, Air Force vehicles, and Marine Corps equipment all contained it too.
If you served and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease, you may be entitled to compensation through multiple pathways:
⚖️ Mesothelioma Lawsuit - Not against the government or the military. Against the asbestos manufacturers who knew their product was dangerous and sold it anyway. These companies are the ones at fault.
🏦 Asbestos Trust Funds - Many of those manufacturers have since gone bankrupt, but were required to set aside trust funds for future victims. You may be eligible to file a claim.
📋 VA Disability Claims - Veterans with mesothelioma qualify for a 100% disability rating - the maximum available. That means:
• Single veteran: at least $3,106/month
• Married veteran: at least $3,279/month
• Veteran with spouse, two parents & a child: $3,684/month
Additional VA options include Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for surviving spouses (at least $1,340/month), pensions for wartime veterans, and Aid & Attendance benefits.
And here's something important: filing a VA claim or a lawsuit does not mean taking action against the U.S. government. It means holding the companies that profited from your exposure accountable.
At BCBH Law, we have a Veterans Service Representative on our team — a 24-year Navy veteran himself — who helps guide veterans through the VA claims process at no cost. We travel to you. No upfront fees. Ever.
