Florida Mesothelioma Claims for Veterans | CHG<\/h2>\n

Who This Claim Is For<\/h2>\n

This page is for veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma after asbestos exposure during military service. It is also for families of veterans who died from the disease.<\/p>\n

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer linked to asbestos. Asbestos is a mineral fiber. It was once used in many building and industrial materials.<\/p>\n

Mesothelioma affects the membranes around the lungs, chest, or abdominal cavity. These are the thin linings that cover those organs.<\/p>\n
