How Our NY Lawyers Handle Mesothelioma Claims for Navy Veterans?
Navy veterans typically show no symptoms of mesothelioma until decades after exposure to asbestos.
Many mesothelioma patients we interview do not know specifically how they were exposed to asbestos. Our attorneys will
investigate this matter for you. We take a detailed work history from you, including information about your military service and
specific assignments. We hire researchers to pull blueprints and equipment records from the Naval Archives in Washington, D.C.
relating to the ship or ships on which you served. That allows us to identify the asbestos products to which you were exposed
aboard ship and the responsible companies that manufactured and marketed the products.
We use muster rolls to track down shipmates who had similar jobs or worked in the same area of the ship. We then interview your
shipmates about their recollections of asbestos exposure. A clear line begins to form from your mesothelioma diagnosis back to
your initial asbestos exposures, eventually revealing the companies that made the asbestos products that led to your illness.
It’s that kind of thorough background investigation and effective legal representation that prompted a jury in 2011 to award a Navy
veteran and his wife $32 million in the case of Ronald Dummitt and Doris Kay Dummitt v. A.W. Chesterson, et al.

4. Mr. Dummitt worked in the boiler and fire rooms of seven Navy ships and claimed his incurable mesothelioma was caused by
exposure to asbestos from work repairing valves. The jury found two manufacturers had acted with reckless disregard for the
safety of others by failing to warn of the dangers of asbestos exposure. It was the top product liability verdict in New York in 2011.
Each mesothelioma claim by a Navy veteran stands on its own set of facts. Still, these cases always share a common factor:
Mesothelioma is only known to be caused by asbestos. Asbestos products were sold by companies who understood their
products were dangerous and acted with disregard for the consequences. This means that there is always at least one
responsible party. Oftentimes, the difference between a successful asbestos trial comes down to the experience of the lawyers.
Victims of asbestos need a lawyer who understands asbestos.
The lawyers of Belluck & Fox understand the serious consequences of asbestos exposure and the suffering that mesothelioma
causes Navy veterans and their families. While we can’t guarantee an outcome, the attorneys at Belluck & Fox know how to win
mesothelioma claims and have a proven record of success. We’re proud of the aggressive legal representation we have provided
hundreds of mesothelioma victims and their families.
