The Newport News Shipyard constructed 31 Destroyers and repaired or overhauled many more. If you live in or around Newport News and were involved in the construction, repair or overhaul of these Destroyers, you may have been exposed to asbestos. If you served in the United States Navy and were stationed aboard one of these Destroyers, you are also at risk for asbestos exposure. The family members of persons exposed to asbestos are also at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer. If you were exposed to asbestos aboard a Destroyer at Newport News, contact our mesothelioma attorneys for a free case evaluation.
