The Truth About Asbestos
A Brief History
Asbestos is a known cause of cancer. From the 1920s to the 1980s, many industries and the military used asbestos-based products, unknowingly exposing millions to this deadly material. Asbestos companies hid the dangerous truth so they could keep making money. As a result, thousands of victims continue to be diagnosed with lethal asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma.
Who Is to Blame?
Companies that made and sold asbestos products knew the deadly health risks of asbestos exposure. However, they sold their products anyway, putting their profits ahead of workers’ lives. When the public finally learned the truth, asbestos manufacturers were forced to pay billions of dollars in legal compensation to current and future asbestos victims. Today, you can seek justice from these companies if asbestos exposure caused your illness.

Who Was Exposed?
Millions of innocent civilians and military members were exposed to asbestos throughout the 20th century. From construction workers and tradespeople to Army and Navy veterans, asbestos victims were innocent citizens just trying to earn a living. Sadly, their jobs put them at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases.

How Military Veterans Are at Risk
Members of the military and veterans comprise roughly 8% of our nation’s population. However, they account for 1/3 of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. The asbestos exposure risk was far higher for men and women who served their country. For over 40 years, asbestos was used to build and repair military assets, putting active duty members at risk of exposure on a daily basis.
