U.S. Navy Veteran Walter Shares His Story

I am spitting polished, I’ll tell you not. I was proud I was in the Navy on seven ships, I was a boiler tender and when I want to board ship that’s when I found out that was as best in the products. Nobody ever said anything about it being dangerous. It didn’t kill anybody on the spot, that’s for sure but it took years later. When started catching up with us but the word mesothelioma, I didn’t know anything about when I turned 70, I started getting pneumonia, not a flu but pneumonia once in a while but then as time went on they kept getting closer and closer and closer together and asked the doctor, I said, I want to know why and they sent me downstairs get a chest X-ray and made it back before I got back up there. I really can’t explain it it I got a knot in my stomach you know but he told me then that there was no care for it he said you have all your paperwork in order I said yes I do he said well keep it there so oh I can’t cut wood or anything any re a big Garden or anything anymore I was been so independent all my life and all of a sudden I can’t do anything for myself. I’m very weak short breath and I’ve lost a lot of weight I’m a little angry about it if I can have my health back I’d give it back give have money back. The thing what convinced me about carrying on with a lawsuit was when I was informed that I wasn’t suing the government, I wasn’t suing the US Navy, I was going suing the manufacturer and I got mad then because they knew when I got told they knew many years prior what it would do to the human being I got mad I said well heck with this noise they’re going to hear from me there was a couple lawyers coming out from from the the law firm Simmons. It was only two or 3 days and he was here I was surprised at the stuff that he knew he just knows the names of all the pumps and the valves going clear back way you know it was a hands-on approach. I guess and that’s what drew me because that’s the way I do things hands-on approach they were prepared they could go back to day one and I appreciated that they damn well earned it.
