As recently as the 1970s, the military commonly used asbestos in its technology, housing, and offices. Unfortunately, it is still in use today, though in limited amounts.

Though used chiefly by the United States Navy in ships and shipyards, all branches of the armed forces utilized asbestos to some degree. Common sources of asbestos exposure among military personnel include:

In 1939, the Navy Surgeon General warned that extended exposure to asbestos and continued inhalation of asbestos "dust" could lead to "asbestosis," a disease of the lungs. Unfortunately, such warnings went unheeded, and asbestos enjoyed widespread use throughout the Navy and the Armed Forces for the next 30 years. The continued and widespread use of asbestos in a manner that posed a risk to individuals, after the dangers of such exposure were made known, represents a negligent act for which the involved parties can be held liable in the event of an asbestos-related illness.

At our Houston, Texas law firm, we help victims and the families of victims throughout the nation to obtain compensation for their suffering by holding the liable parties accountable for their actions.
