Asbestos exposure can lead to many irreversible, incurable, and usually fatal diseases such as lung cancer, bronchial cancer, mesothelioma, colon/rectal cancer, throat/esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, plus many other types of pulmonary issues. Most of our World War II veterans are gone today, but the thousands that suffered from asbestos exposure in the military were able to successfully pursue legal action against the asbestos companies that manufacture the products which led to life-threatening diseases. If you are a World War II veteran that developed an asbestos-related disease you may be eligible for compensation.
