Nationwide Mesothelioma Helpline Launched For Veterans
Injury Lawyer Network has launched a nationwide helpline for
veterans with mesothelioma. The helpline is reaching out to
veterans and their families to help them get experienced legal
counsel.
PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 7, 2012 - Mesothelioma is a fatal
form of lung cancer that is effecting our veterans. Many of them
are currently retirees hoping to enjoy life. According to L
Spitzer MSW, "Mesothelioma has a very long latency period and I
am concerned about our seniors who are just starting to show
symptoms." http://injurylawyernetwork.net/mesothelioma-lawyer/
"Many of our older veterans are now faced with this fatal lung
cancer. Veterans who served in all branches of the US Armed
Forces are starting to show symptoms due to exposure to asbestos
used in products used by the Armed Forces before it was phased
out in the 1970s," Says the helpline.
According to the Injury Lawyer Network representatives: "When
asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they can lodge in the
mesothelial cells of the lungs causing pleural mesothelioma and
the abdomen causing peritoneal mesothelioma".
The helpline representatives continue: "Symptoms may take up to
50 years to develop. Many former armed services veterans are now
showing symptoms of asbestos exposure years later. We must
locate these people and explain the mesothelioma lawsuits and
make sure they get the justice they deserve. It is important to
get them to an experienced mesothelioma lawyer." http://injurylawyernetwork.net/injury-lawyer-network-laun...
The helpline is overseen by a medical social worker and
rehabilitation counselor and can be reached 24hrs a day, 7 days
a week by calling 1 877 522-2123. Although every state in the
country has reported cases of asbestos related mesothelioma, the
helpline is concentrating on these states with the highest
fatalities: California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas,
New Jersey, Illinois and Washington. These eight states account
for more than half of all mesothelioma deaths in the nation. The
cities are Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago.
