We have all seen the commercials on TV from attorneys asking if you were on the Island from ‘53-‘87, you may be able to be compensated if you got cancer due to the water being contaminated.
A friend here where I live asked me if his son could have gotten his diabetes from him since he was on the Island back in 1965. I told him I didn’t really know. I was contacted almost 3 years ago asking me if I or any of my children have diabetes. I told the man that I don’t have any known children and I have never been diagnosed with diabetes.
Thinking about how the question was asked, I think it may be possible for the person who was on the Island not to have gotten diabetes, but it may be possible for him or her to have passed it on to one of their children, so I suggested he speak with an attorney.
Has anyone here experienced anything related to this case?
