Asbestos-containing products and equipment were widely used across every branch of the military between 1930 and the late 1970s. 2. 44% of all Sokolove Law mesothelioma cases are U.S. Veterans – representing nearly every state in the U.S. 3. Symptoms of mesothelioma can take 20-50 years to appear. 4. An estimated $30 Billion in court-ordered trusts has been set aside to provide funds for victims and families. 5. Pursuing an asbestos legal claim does not affect VA LiiwÌÃÀ pensions. We bring claims against the manufacturers – not the U.S. government or military. Most mesothelioma claims are settled out of court, easing the stress and burden on families.
