North Carolina Vietnam War Veterans Mesothelioma Lawyer

North Carolina Vietnam War Veterans Mesothelioma & Asbestos Exposure Attorney

Asbestos exposure in the Vietnam War generally occurred in the same ways that it occurred in World War II and the Korean War. Namely, Vietnam War veterans were exposed to asbestos through contact with military machinery, vessels, vehicles, aircraft and materials. This was a time period when the use of asbestos products was perhaps at its peak, because the Vietnam War ended shortly before public warnings about asbestos and mesothelioma were just coming to light.

Many Vietnam War veterans struggled mightily when they returned to the U.S. They struggled with a sense of stigma as well as physical and mental health problems. Many suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and as a result, found it difficult to get a job, keep a job or live peacefully in a family. Many became disabled or homeless. (Many others adjusted well.) Life challenges stemming from their war experience can make coping with a serious disease such as mesothelioma all that more difficult in later life.
