Navy Vessels Contained Asbestos Carcinogen, Causing Mesothelioma in Sailors Decades Later.

Our mesothelioma lawyers recently heard from a Portsmouth man who was diagnosed with mesothelioma from his asbestos exposure while sailing on a Navy vessel.

The man, who ultimately battled with the mesothelioma cancer at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, served in the Coast Guard for four years.

He reportedly crossed the Atlantic on the Eagle, the only active commissioned sailing vessel in the U.S. maritime services.

He retired from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in 1992 and during his civilian career with the Navy also worked on the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown, Mass.

Researchers have reported that the number of hazardous asbestos-containing products used in Navy vessels reached nearly 300 at the height of the Navy's use of asbestos.

Many who sailed on vessels in the Navy have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country.
