For Veterans with Mesothelioma or Lung Cancer, Sokolove Law Brings Top Asbestos Attorneys to the Fight
Decades of Asbestos Litigation Experience Focusing on Veterans ' Needs
CHESTNUT HILL, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2026 /Sokolove Law, a leading national mesothelioma law firm, is encouraging U.S. veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer to explore their legal options. The firm, which has VA-accredited attorneys on staff, has secured significant compensation for military families across the country.
For much of the 20th century, asbestos was widely used across all branches of the U.S. military. The mineral was commonly found in ships and shipyards, aircraft, vehicles, barracks, and bases.
Now, veterans account for an estimated 33% of all mesothelioma diagnoses nationwide. Mesothelioma and lung cancer can take 20-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure, so symptoms often don 't appear until long after a veteran 's service has ended.
Affected veterans and their families may be able to seek compensation from mesothelioma lawsuits, which award over $1 Million on average.
Sokolove Law has secured results for veterans across all military branches, including:
The firm does not file asbestos lawsuits against the U.S. military or the federal government. These legal claims are filed against companies that made or sold asbestos-containing products to the military despite knowing they were dangerous.
"Veterans have a right to hold responsible the companies that produced and sold asbestos-containing materials to the military, " said Ricky LeBlanc, managing attorney of Sokolove Law. "Filing an asbestos legal claim does not impact VA benefits. "
With VA-accredited attorneys on staff, Sokolove Law can also help veterans exposed to asbestos during their service file a VA benefits claim or increase their current rating. Veterans with mesothelioma or lung cancer typically receive a 100% disability rating, allowing them to receive the highest payout amount.
Sokolove Law is proud to support those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Approximately 42% of the firm 's mesothelioma clients are U.S. veterans, reflecting a long-standing commitment to supporting military families affected by asbestos-related diseases.
Over the past 45 years, the firm 's mesothelioma attorneys have recovered more than $5.7 billion for clients with asbestos-related diseases, including over $1.3 billion on behalf of U.S. military veterans with mesothelioma.
Veterans and their loved ones can get a free case review to learn about their legal options and get support after a mesothelioma diagnosis.
