Our Attorneys Stand Up for Those Who Stood Strong for Our Country
Table of Contents
Whether you served our country at sea, in the air, or on land, your risk of asbestos exposure is greater than that of many civilians. That’s because asbestos companies sold products containing the dangerous material to the U.S. military for decades without warning of the health hazards their products could cause.
If you or a loved one served in the military years ago but have just been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you still have a right to pursue compensation for your illness. The nationally recognized asbestos lawyers at Belluck & Fox are dedicated to standing up for the rights of those who stood strong for our country. Our New York asbestos law firm is known for:

Veterans in Every Branch Were Exposed to Asbestos
Navy veterans are most likely to be diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease. However, those who served in the Army, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard were also exposed to the dangerous material, the Department of Veterans Affairs warns.
Specifically, the VA notes that the asbestos exposure risk was greatest for those veterans who were involved in:
- Working on ships or in shipyards
- Working on equipment such as pumps and valves as a maintenance mechanic like aircraft mechanics
- Working with boilers, engines, and turbines
- Servicing friction products like brake linings and clutch facings
- Working in construction or carpentry
- Manufacturing and installing floors, roofs, cement, and pipe products
Asbestos-related diseases often take decades to develop, so veterans who were exposed many years ago may be just now facing a diagnosis of mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. When you meet with our skilled legal team, we will thoroughly review your service history to determine when and where you were exposed, as well as what company (or companies) manufactured the asbestos products you worked with.

Compensation Is Available for Veterans
Veterans who served in the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard may be entitled to compensation if they are suffering from an asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. At Belluck & Fox, our dedicated New York asbestos lawyers frequently help clients demand full and fair compensation for:
- Medical bills, including future health care expenses you may have as you continue to battle your condition
- Lost wages, including diminished earning capacity if you have been working but are no longer able to return to the same job
- Pain and suffering you have endured due to your illness
In addition to pursuing damages through a claim against the asbestos companies, our attorneys will work with you to file a claim for VA disability benefits.

You Will Not Be Suing the Military
When you file an asbestos claim, you should understand that you are not taking action against the military or any of your commanding officers. Rather, you are filing a claim against the manufacturer(s) of the asbestos products or other companies that were responsible for selling these products to the military. These asbestos companies knew about the dangers of their products and failed to warn you about them.
