Denver Colorado Veterans & Mesothelioma

Denver is located near a variety of military facilities, including a MEPS base, U.S. Army base and a U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital. Buckley Air Force Base is located in nearby Aurora, Colorado. The base initially served as an Army post in 1942 as a technical school for crewman of B-17 and B-24 bombers and as a basic training site for Army Air Corps. The base was later transformed into an auxiliary field for Lowry Air Force Base. It became part of the Air National Guard and the Navy until it became part of the Air Force.

All branches of the military have reported histories of using asbestos. This material was affordable and resistant to heat and fire, so it was used in numerous applications, including being used to insulate and construct military buildings and being used as components of military vehicles, ships and planes.

Mesothelioma Lawsuits in Denver Colorado

Denver has seen its fair share of mesothelioma lawsuits, but most of these cases are resolved prior to trial. Many of these lawsuits name several defendants. For example, public news reports show one case filed in 1986 named Harbison-Walker Refractory, a leading metal product and fireproof ceramic manufacturer in the state and John Crane, Co. after employees developed asbestos-related diseases from these job sites after allegedly being exposed to asbestos. The workers were awarded compensation.

More recently, a concern regarding asbestos is that it is in talc baby powder. A Centennial, Colorado woman filed a claim alleging her ovarian cancer is linked to Johnson & Johnson baby powder. At least 9,000 similar claims are currently pending across the nation.
