Coast Guard Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos was used extensively on Coast Guard ships, in the insulation and reflective material used in the construction of boilers and engines. Coast Guard members serving below deck, near this equipment, were at the highest risk of developing mesothelioma.

The pipes that ran through the entire vessel were typically coated with asbestos, putting anyone serving on the Coast Guard vessel at risk of asbestos exposure. Since Coast Guard members worked, rested and slept near asbestos, their risk of exposure was especially high.

Our attorneys have successfully handled numerous mesothelioma lawsuits for people who served in the U.S. Coast Guard and other branches of the military. We can help you with all aspects of applying for VA benefits, so you can pursue the financial relief you need and deserve.
