Canadian Navy Veterans May Seek Asbestos Lawsuit Compensation for a Cancer Diagnosis.

Discuss your mesothelioma or lung cancer case if asbestos exposure in the Canadian Navy caused harm.

According to the Canadian Veterans Affairs, asbestos was once a popular material used widely in construction and many other industries.

Until the 1970s, many ships around the world, including Royal Canadian Navy ships, contained asbestos-based insulation.

In the Canadian Navy, it was used to line bulkheads and also used in pipe and boiler insulation to prevent fires.

If you worked in the Canadian Navy as pipe fitter, or worked in an engine room or shipyard where the asbestos fibres may have been in the air, you may experience some breathing difficulties, and, ultimately, such diseases as asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other cancers linked to asbestos exposure.

When inhaled, asbestos fibres can cause scarring of the lungs which makes breathing difficult.

Many people have come forward to say their time in the Canadian Navy led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer or another one of the cancers associated with asbestos.

If this has been your experience, our asbestos lawyers may be able to help you receive compensation for your health problems.
