Is the U.S. Military held accountable for the health consequences of asbestos exposure during service?
Veterans are not permitted to seek compensation directly from the U.S. Government, but can request benefits from the Veterans' Administration if they can prove that they developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure solely from their military service. The asbestos manufacturers can be held accountable for the deadly effects their products have had on veterans. The best way to seek compensation is by contacting an attorney.
