Asbestos was used frequently by the US Air Force. Gain compensation if you were harmed.

One of our asbestos clients who was diagnosed with mesothelioma recalled working very closely with asbestos while serving in the US Air Force for 23 years.

The air force, he said, used asbestos in so many ways--in insulation, roofing, water pipes, boilers and even bathroom paneling.

He recalls that right after arriving to his first duty station in 1958, he was required to saw sheets of asbestos with a table saw.

"The dust so thick you could hardly see," he remembers.

Sadly, he said it wasn't until 1984 that he learned that asbestos particles were dangerous. Many employers, however, were aware of the dangers many years before.

He found out after seing a building being demolished and noticing that the workers were wearing protective clothing and face masks.

"I asked why, and they told me it was because of the asbestos particles!"

Many people have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
