Understanding Camp Lejeune Litigation

The water contamination at Camp Lejeune-New River MCAS is considered by many experts as the worst contamination case of public water system in American history. Since August 1,1953 until December 31, 1987 Marines; Sailors and Navy civilian personnel drink, bathe and cooked at camp Lejeune-New River MCAS with water highly contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals including benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). Scientific and medical evidence have shown undeniable evidence that exposure to this contaminated water caused thousands of victims to develop cancer, birth defects and other conditions. Unfortunately for the victims, North Carolina law precluded them for decades to bring forward their claims in a Court of Law. In August 10, 2022, thanks to the relentless effort of our trial partner J. Edward Bell III; congressional testimonies of experts and the Federal Congress, The “Honoring Our Pact Act of 2022” (also known as the “Camp Lejeune Justice Act”) became federal law. Any veteran or civilian personnel who lived at least 30 days in camp Lejeune/New River from August 1, 1953 until December 31, 1987 and have been diagnosed with the following conditions is eligible for a substantial monetary compensation.

Blindly believe in the promises of predatory marketing schemes such as “your Camp Lejeune case has been approved”; “hire us, we charge only a fraction of the other lawyers”; “your Camp Lejeune case is worth at least $190,500.00”. I have seen all these ads in television and social media and the majority of them are misleading at best or plainly deceptive. The fees on this case will be decided by the Presiding Trial Judge in the United District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina and not a single Camp Lejeune case has been “approved” so far.

What to Expect

WHAT A “CAMP LEJEUNE CASE” ENTAILS?

After we have assessed your injuries or medical conditions as a “Camp Lejeune Presumptive” claim and you have accepted our representation, we will gather all the pertinent evidence in the form of service and medical records and proceed to file an Administrative Federal Claim with the Department of the Navy immediately on your behalf.

It is unknown at this time which cases will be accepted by the Department of the Navy and if they will pay any or all claims that are deemed “presumptive” by the Federal Statute recently enacted. If your case is accepted by the Department of the Navy, a prompt resolution is likely and if not, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

We will advance any and all costs on your behalf, including filing fees, service of process and hiring expert witnesses (medical doctors and chemists) to testify on your behalf. You do not need to currently reside in North Carolina to file the lawsuit. You will reimburse us all the expenses if we win your case.

Our offices will keep you informed of any and all important developments in your case. Your file will be assigned to a specific paralegal specially trained in Camp Lejeune litigation cases and you will have access to our attorneys via teleconference or in-person meetings if you wish.

WHY DO I NEED THREE LAW FIRMS?

We decided to team up to offer our clients our combined expertise in this type of complex federal litigation. You will have three law firms advocating to you at the administrative federal level and in Federal Court. You will pay only one attorney’s fees, so you will have the best of both words: three law firms for the price of one with 96 years of combined litigation experience.

WILL I LOSE MY VETERAN’S ADMINISTRATION BENEFITS IF I PRESENT A “CAMP LEJEUNE CASE”?

Absolutely not. Your Medi-Care; V.A. benefits or any other health or assistance program cannot and will not be affected by your Camp Lejeune Claim. At the settlement stage of your case; if you have received medical care regarding the condition we are claiming in your Camp Lejeune case under Medi-Care or V.A. benefits, there will be an “offset” (a discount) of your settlement amount, but your entitlements to the benefits will not change nor you will lose your V.A. or Medi-Care eligibility for further treatments and services.

IS THERE A DEADLINE TO PRESENT A “CAMP LEJEUNE CLAIM”?

A Camp Lejeune Claim is a complex two-step filing process with two deadlines; therefore we encourage you to contact us immediately to protect your case.
