Military Asbestos Exposure in San Antonio
San Antonio's extraordinary concentration of military installations makes it one of the most significant cities in the country for veteran mesothelioma claims. Kelly Air Force Base — which operated as San Antonio Air Logistics Center until its conversion to Kelly Field Annex in 2001 — was one of the Air Force's primary aircraft engine overhaul facilities, where mechanics worked with asbestos-containing aircraft components, engine gaskets, and maintenance materials. Civilian Department of Defense employees who worked at Kelly alongside military personnel also have eligible exposure claims. Lackland AFB trained millions of Air Force recruits in facilities built with asbestos materials, and Fort Sam Houston's medical and support facilities used asbestos extensively in construction. Veterans in San Antonio should simultaneously pursue VA disability claims and asbestos trust fund claims.
